Rolls over Muscle coordination and perception are developed enough at 6 months for the infant to roll over. If unaware of this ability, the parent may leave the infant unattended for a moment to reach for something, making it possible for the infant to roll off an elevated surface. Sitting up unsupported is accomplished by most infants at 7 to 8 months. Crawling takes place around 9 months of age. Standing by holding on to furniture is accomplished by most infants between 8 and 10 months of age.

Offer ice chips on which to suck Ice chips are soothing and promote vasoconstriction. Milk and milk products coat the mouth, causing the child to clear the throat, which may precipitate bleeding. The supine position promotes edema and does not allow oral secretions to drain from the mouth. The head of the bed should be elevated, and the child should be positioned on the side. Mouthwash solution is too caustic; a warm saltwater solution is preferred.

Class II clients are marked with a yellow tag. Class II clients who can wait for a short time for care are marked with a yellow tag. Class IV clients who are expected to die or are dead are issued a black tag. Class III clients who require nonurgent care or "walking wounded" are given a green tag. Class I clients who require emergency care are identified with a red tag.

MRC Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) may help staff hospitals or community health settings that face shortages and provide first aid stations or special-need shelters. The National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) manages mass fatalities, emergency animal care, and establishes fully functional field surgical facilities. A Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT) is a medical relief team deployed to a disaster area with enough medical equipment and supplies to sustain operations for 72 hours. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training so that people are better prepared for disasters and hazard situations in their own communities. Test-Taking Tip: Choose the best answer for questions asking for a single answer. More than one answer may be correct, but one answer may contain more information or more important information than another answer.

Clients who need emergency treatment Emergent clients are identified with red tags and belong to class I according to the disaster triage tag system. Clients who can wait a short time for treatment are identified by yellow tags and belong to class II according to the disaster triage tag system. Clients who are expected to die or are dead are given a black tag and belong to class IV in the disaster triage tag system. Clients who have no urgency for treatment are issued green tags and belong to class III. Test-Taking Tip: Make certain that the answer you select is reasonable and obtainable under ordinary circumstances and that the action can be carried out in the given situation.

sarin gas Sarin gas is an agent for bioterrorism that can cause death within minutes of exposure by paralyzing respiratory muscles. Uranium and Iodine-131 can be dangerous in close proximities but are not as harmful as sarin gas. Mustard gas causes blisters on the skin but does not cause death within a few minutes.

The client belongs to class III- can walk The green disaster triage tag is issued to nonurgent or "walking wounded" clients who belong to class III. A red disaster triage tag is issued to clients who require immediate treatment and belong to class I. Clients with yellow and black tags belong to class II and IV respectively.

Oxygen supports combustion

GREEN The green-tagged victims have minor injuries, can move themselves to hospital from a mass causality scene in a private vehicle, and are also called "walking wounded" victims. Red- tagged victims can't ambulate themselves as they are severely injured. The black-tagged victims are dead or expected to die and require ambulances to transfer them. The yellow-tagged victims can have large wounds that require assistance to ambulate.

Client belonging to class I Class I clients are emergent clients who are marked with red tag. These clients have an immediate threat to life and need attention first. Class II clients have major injuries and need treatment within 30 minutes to 2 hours. Class III clients have minor injuries and can be treated in a delayed manner. Class IV clients are those who are expected to die or are dead.

A group of clients is admitted with mass fatalities in the emergency unit. Which emergency medical service agency offers service for this condition? 1 Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Incorrect 2 Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) 3 International Medical Surgical Response Teams (IMSRT) Correct 4 Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Teams (DMORT)

C- shock Client C reporting with shock is identified with a red tag, indicating an immediate threat to life. The client with massive head trauma is labeled with a black tag, which indicates the client is deceased or is expected to die, so treatment will not be provided in order to maximize resources to save the most clients possible. The client reporting with an open fracture with distal pulse is triaged as class 3 where the treatment is considered urgent but less so than for a red-tagged client. Strains and contusions are minor injuries and are considered nonurgent; client D should be triaged as class III.

Gummas which are chronic, destructive lesions affecting the skin, bone, liver, and mucous membranes occur during tertiary syphilis. A chancre appears during primary syphilis. Alopecia and condylomata lata occur during secondary syphilis.

Cohorting Cohorting is the practice of grouping clients who are colonized or infected with the same pathogen. Isolating is limiting the exposure to individuals with an infection. Colonizing refers to the development of an infection in the body. Cross-referencing has nothing to do with an infectious process.

"This antibiotic helps keep babies from contracting eye infections. Erythromycin ophthalmic ointment is used to treat gonorrhea and Chlamydia infections, which may be transmitted during birth. It is administered prophylactically. Although it will prevent the newborn from becoming blind if the infant is born with these infections, there is not enough information in the answer to help the mother understand how the ointment prevents blindness. The antibiotic ointment is not administered to protect the newborn from bright lights. Newborns are in fact required by law to receive erythromycin ophthalmic ointment, but simply stating this does not explain why it is administered.

Functional nursing The functional method of delivering care works well in emergency and disaster situations. Each care provider knows the expectations of the assigned role and completes the tasks quickly and efficiently. Team nursing, primary nursing, and total patient care nursing are not the ideal models for delivering client care during disaster situations.

Test the temperature of water before bathing

Stage 2 describes a client with a CD4+ T-cell count between 200 and 499 cells/mm3. Stage 1 describes a client with a CD4+ T-cell count of greater than 500 cells/mm3. Stage 3 describes a client with a CD4+ T-cell count of less than 200 cells/mm3. Stage 4 describes a client with a confirmed HIV infection but no information regarding CD4+ T-cell counts is available.

Produces antibodies against the sensitizing antigen Incorrect 3

Trauma system

IGM IgM (immunoglobulin M) is the first antibody formed by a newly sensitized B-lymphocyte plasma cell. IgA has very low circulating levels and is responsible for preventing infection in the upper and lower respiratory tracts, and the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. IgE has variable concentrations in the blood and is associated with antibody-mediated hypersensitivity reactions. IgG is heavily expressed on second and subsequent exposures to antigens to provide sustained, long-term immunity against invading microorganisms.

To monitor vital signs EMTs offer basic life support interventions that include monitoring vital signs. Paramedics are advanced life support care providers that perform advanced techniques such as providing intubation, establishing IV access, and performing advanced airway management.

Emergency medical technicians Emergency medical technicians are the appropriate emergency staff members who would monitor vital signs, perform basic wound care, and ensure spinal immobilization, as these are basic life support (BLS) interventions. Paramedics are qualified to perform advanced life support (ALS) measures. Prehospital care providers are the first caregivers who help in transportation to the emergency department. Emergency medicine physicians receive specialized education and training in emergency client management

Identification of hazards

Correct 4 Discuss procedures that can be performed with a review panel Workers who are infected with HIV should seek advice from an expert review panel before performing exposure-prone procedures to determine under what circumstances they may continue to practice these procedures. All healthcare workers should adhere to standard precautions at all times and not just those who are HIV positive. Workers with exudative lesions or weeping dermatitis should not perform direct client care or handle client care equipment and devices used in invasive procedures. Workers must follow guidelines for disinfection and sterilization of reusable equipment utilized in invasive procedures.
