Which one of the following tips should you give a new EMT about artificially ventilating a patient with the bag-valve mask?
 
  A) If the patient has dentures, they should be removed so a better mask-to-face seal can be achieved.
  B) It is important to maintain the head-tilt, chin-lift or jaw-thrust maneuver while ventilating the patient.
  C) To direct air into the lungs and away from the stomach, flex the patient's head forward when ventilating with the BVM.
  D) Always remove the oropharyngeal airway. If it is in place when you are ventilating with a BVM, it may be pushed deep into the airway.

Question 2

You are stabilizing a patient who has just been stabbed in the chest to the right of the mediastinum. After placing the patient on supplemental oxygen, his shortness of breath resolves. You also cover the wound with an occlusive dressing. The patient is asymptomatic at the time you're making the decision to transport. Which of the following BEST encapsulates the correct strategy for transport?
 
  A) Begin transport non-emergently and upgrade if the patient's condition deteriorates.
  B) Transport the patient non-emergently because he's complaint free.
  C) The patient does not necessarily need transport, so allow him to refuse if he wants.
  D) Transport the patient emergently because of the high index of suspicion for a serious injury.
