Question 1

A Primary Care Paramedic (PCP) responds to a residential address for a patient in cardiac arrest. During resuscitation efforts, a family member asks the paramedic if their uncle has a Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) directive on file that restricts resuscitation. How should the paramedic manage this request on scene?

Cease resuscitation efforts immediately based on the family member's verbal query. Continue resuscitation unless presented with a valid, written Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) confirmation form. Call dispatch to query the provincial database for any electronic health records containing a PHIPA directive. Instruct the family member to contact the medical director directly while halting chest compressions.

Correct Answer:

Continue resuscitation unless presented with a valid, written Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) confirmation form.

Question 2

A competent 28-year-old male is involved in a minor motor vehicle collision. He exhibits no signs of injury or cognitive impairment, scoring 15 on the Glasgow Coma Scale, but refuses transport to the hospital. Which action must the PCP prioritize to ensure professional and legal standards are met?

Attempt to persuade the patient to accept transport by warning him of potential hidden internal bleeding. Document the patient's capacity, the risks discussed, and obtain a signed Refusal of Care form. Contact police to place the patient under an involuntary psychiatric hold for refusing medical care. Depart the scene immediately without documentation, as the patient is competent and has refused help.

Correct Answer:

Document the patient's capacity, the risks discussed, and obtain a signed Refusal of Care form.

Question 3

A PCP arrives for a day shift and notices that their crew partner is slurring their speech, smelling of alcohol, and has unsteady balance. What is the PCP's primary professional obligation in this situation?

Agree to drive the ambulance for the shift while keeping their partner in the patient compartment to rest. Report the partner's condition immediately to the supervisor to protect public safety and prevent duty assignment. Advise the partner to call in sick and say nothing to anyone else to protect their colleague's career. Wait until the first emergency call is dispatched to see if the partner can perform their duties adequately.

Correct Answer:

Report the partner's condition immediately to the supervisor to protect public safety and prevent duty assignment.

Question 4

A PCP is caring for a patient in severe respiratory distress due to a suspected tension pneumothorax. The patient's condition is deteriorating rapidly. The paramedic knows that needle chest decompression is an Advanced Care Paramedic (ACP) skill in their jurisdiction, but they have read about how to perform it. How should the PCP proceed?

Perform the needle chest decompression immediately to save the patient's life, as the clinical need is urgent. Call the base hospital medical director to ask for a one-time verbal authorization to perform the procedure. Maintain basic airway management, administer high-flow oxygen, and request immediate ACP intercept or rapid transport. Delegate the procedure to a bystander who claims to be a retired nurse to avoid direct liability.

Correct Answer:

Maintain basic airway management, administer high-flow oxygen, and request immediate ACP intercept or rapid transport.

Question 5

During a busy shift, a PCP accidentally administers a double dose of salbutamol (5.0 mg instead of 2.5 mg) to an asthmatic patient. The patient develops transient tachycardia but stabilizes. How must the paramedic handle this medication error?

Document the standard dose of 2.5 mg in the Patient Care Report (PCR) to avoid unnecessary administrative investigation. Verbally notify the receiving nurse at handover but document the correct dose in the PCR to hide the error from management. Document the actual dose administered, notify the receiving physician, and submit an incident report according to service policy. Withhold documentation of the call entirely and request that dispatch delete the dispatch record.

Correct Answer:

Document the actual dose administered, notify the receiving physician, and submit an incident report according to service policy.
