You are dispatched to a residence for a patient “not feeling well.” On arrival, you are directed into the patient’s bedroom. The patient is lying in bed, propped up by two pillows. The patient says he has been feeling ill for over 48 hours. He also reports that he has had severe abdominal pain accompanied by N/V and diarrhea. However, he has been able to tolerate some clear liquids. He has not been able to keep down any food. He denies any other problems and is sure that this is the flu. On examination, the patient is conscious, a/o x 4.  RR 32 BPM, deep and labored, CBL.  Both radial and carotid pulses are present but weak. Skin is slightly pale and dry. The abdomen is soft and non-tender in all four quadrants. There are no apparent injuries and no pitting edema. Vital signs are P 140 BPM, RR 32 per minute, deep and labored, BP 92/54, O2 sat 94%, ST on the monitor. Past medical history includes insulin-dependent diabetes, but he is not compliant with his medication.  O2 NC at 4 lpm. As the paramedic, you would give this patient:

You respond to an unresponsive patient behind the local bar. The patient is cool to the touch, cyanotic, with pinpoint pupils, BP 102/p, P 38, and respirations of 6 and shallow. The ECG shows sinus bradycardia. After providing an airway and breathing, which medications or treatments would you prioritize first? 

Express the strength of the following ratio in mg per mL. 0.4 L of solution containing 40 gm of a drug.

Infuse a premixed drug 400 mg/250 mL at 10 mcg/kg/min. The patient weighs 198 lb. Use a 60 gtts/mL set; how many gtts/min will you give?

Give 350 mg of a drug over 10 minutes. You have 500 mg/10 mL. The exact medication dose and volume are added to a 50 mL Normal Saline bag and then administered using a 10 gtts/mL set. How many gtts/min will you administer? 

When the equation: ___Cu2S  +  ___O2  –>  ___Cu2O  +  ___SO2 is correctly balanced with the smallest whole-number coefficients, the coefficient in front of O2 will be: To determine the sum, add up the coefficients: For instance 2 Na + Cl2 –> 2 NaCl would be: 2 + 1 + 2 = 5
