Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Trauma Practice Test 2025 – 400 Free Practice Questions to Pass the Exam

Question: 1 / 400

Basic shock treatment includes:

Applying oxygen, elevating the lower extremities per protocol, and providing warmth

Basic shock treatment usually involves applying oxygen, elevating the lower extremities per protocol, and providing warmth. Option B is incorrect because instead of elevating the lower extremities, it suggests elevating the upper body. This will not be effective in improving blood flow to the vital organs. Option C is incorrect because it suggests using a PASG, which is a pneumatic anti-shock garment typically used for controlling bleeding and stabilizing fractures. This is not a basic shock treatment. Option D is incorrect because it suggests elevating the lower extremities after applying and inflating the PASG, which may hinder blood flow rather than improve it. Overall, option A is the most appropriate and effective basic shock treatment.
