Section 9.02 Exiting Scenarios / Finals Scenario: MEDICAL 1

NOTE: THE STUDENT WILL BE TESTED ON ONLY ONE MEDICAL SCENARIO. CHOOSE MEDICAL 1 OR MEDICAL 2

This scenario will test the student’s ability to:

Demonstrate how to use the AVPU scale to test for patient responsiveness. (p 262) Demonstrate how to evaluate a patient’s orientation and document his or her status correctly. (pp 262–264) Demonstrate the insertion of an oral airway. (pp 339–340, Skill Drill 9-3) or Demonstrate the insertion of a nasal airway. (pp 341–342, Skill Drill 9-5) Demonstrate the techniques for assessing a patient’s airway and correctly obtaining information related to respiratory rate, rhythm, quality/character of breathing, and depth of breathing. (pp 265–269) Demonstrate how to assist a patient with ventilations using the bag-mask device for one rescuers. (p 354)

Demonstrate how to assess a radial pulse in an unresponsive patient. (pp 270–272) Demonstrate how to perform a rapid scan for injury. (pp 291–295, Skill Drill 8-2) Demonstrate how to perform a full body scan for injury. (pp 291–295, Skill Drill 8-2)

Demonstrate the use of a pulse oximetry device to evaluate the effectiveness of oxygenation in the patient. (pp 289–290) Demonstrate the use of electronic devices to assist in determining the patient’s blood pressure in the field. (pp 290–291) Demonstrate the emergency medical care of a patient with an open chest wound. (pp 817–819) Demonstrate the assessment of neurovascular status. (pp 1015–1017, Skill Drill 29-1)

Setup: You will need your cohort bag. You will also need a board with accessories and suction.

Deployment: You will need a full body manikin to be patient. Under no circumstances should the instructor be the patient.

The student should perform all functions (OPA/NPA insertion, splinting, etc). When a function is time- consuming (BVM ventilation) the student should being the intervention and the evaluator should tell him the partner will take over that function.
