2-52. 2-53. 2-54. 2-55. 2-56. A pressure point is a 1. nerve bundle that causes encruciating  pain  when pressure is applied 2. point where the blood pressure drops low enough so that bleeding stops 3. place where an artery is just below the skin surface over a bone 4. major vein near a wound The following information about pressure points is correct EXCEPT 1. pressure  points  are  ideal when  bleeding  must  be controlled for extended periods  of  time 2. pressure is applied to the pressure point nearest to but proximal to the wound 3. use of a pressure point and elevation can slow hemorrhage until a tourniquet can be applied 4. use of a pressure point and elevation can slow hemorrhage until a direct pressure dressing can be applied If one is applying a tourniquet to a traumatic amputation of the hand, the tourniquet is applied 1. just above the wrist 2. just below the elbow 3. just above the elbow 4. across the biceps at the thickest  part If a tourniquet is used to control bleeding, you must 1.    use narrow material so the band bites into the skin 2.    loosen the tourniquet every 15 minutes to allow blood flow 3.   tighten it only enough to stop arterial bleeding 4.   ensure both the wound and tourniquet are covered by dressings Production of bright red blood during coughing is called 1.   hematemesis 2.   hemoptysis 3.   hematochezia 4.   epistaxis 2-57. 2-58. 2-59. 2-60. Rabies is a viral disease 2-61. 2-62. In treating patients with suspected  internal  injuries, prime consideration should be given to all of the following EXCEPT 1. oral fluids in all cases 2. treating for shock 3. supplemental oxygen therapy 4. transporting  to  a  medical facility as soon as possible When possible, a roller bandage applied around a limb should begin 1. over the compress 2. proximal to the compress 3. on the narrowest part of the extremity 4. on the thickest part of the extremity A Barton bandage may be used to 1. support  a  fractured  mandible 2. hold a chest compress in place 3. make a triangular bandage 4. control a severe nose bleed (epistaxis) 1. found only in household pets 2. usually  fatal 3. treatable  with  standard antibiotics 4. transmittable  only  through animal  bites Any animal bite wound should be 1. cauterized to prevent infection 2. closed with nylon sutures 3. cleaned  with  standard antiseptics 4. cleaned with soap and water To grow and multiply, anaerobic bacteria require 1.    hemolytic  action 2.    increased levels of oxygen 3.    normal levels of oxygen 4.    absence of oxygen 11
