You will be more confident in both your EMR knowledge and hands-on EMR skills
You will be better prepared for the Written and Practical Certification Evaluations at the end of your course
You will be better prepared for your Provincial BC EMALB Licensing Evaluations
These assignments are straightforward…with references to where you can find the answers…however, they can be time
consuming depending on your personal pace and study habits.

Emergency Care Manual Revisions – Due on Session 1
Answers found in: Emergency Care Manual
1. Find the following passage on page 137 of your Emergency Care Manual:
“After doing 5 cycles (2 minutes) of continuous CPR, recheck for signs of circulation and normal
breathing. Tilt the patient’s head to open the airway and take no more than 5 to 10 seconds to check for
signs of circulation. If there are no signs of circulation, or you are unsure, continue CPR, beginning with
compressions. Check circulation and breathing again every few minutes.”
Take a marker or pen…and cross out that passage:
“After doing 5 cycles (2 minutes) of continuous CPR, recheck for signs of circulation and normal
breathing. Tilt the patient’s head to open the airway and take no more than 5 to 10 seconds to check for
signs of circulation. If there are no signs of circulation, or you are unsure, continue CPR, beginning with
compressions. Check circulation and breathing again every few minutes.”
2. Find the following passage on page 142 of your Emergency Care Manual:
“Recheck for signs of circulation and breathing after about 5 cycles (two minutes) of continuous CPR.
Check for signs of circulation for no more than 5-10 seconds with the hand that was giving compressions.
If there are no signs of circulation or you are unsure, continue CPR, starting with compressions. Recheck
circulation and breathing every few minutes.”
Take a marker or pen…and cross out that passage:
“Recheck for signs of circulation and breathing after about 5 cycles (two minutes) of continuous CPR.
Check for signs of circulation for no more than 5-10 seconds with the hand that was giving compressions.
If there are no signs of circulation or you are unsure, continue CPR, starting with compressions. Recheck
circulation and breathing every few minutes.”
These passages are out of date…but were unintentionally overlooked in the last printing.
The most current CPR guidelines indicate that you should continue CPR once started…until you observe Obvious
Signs of Life as you are performing CPR.
Your EMR Instructor will review CPR protocols with you in greater depth during your course.

3. Find the following passage on page 94 of your Emergency Care Manual:
“During your primary survey, you may discover that an unconscious adult is not breathing. If this
happens, begin the CPR sequence (30 compressions).”
Use a pen or marker to add the words…“and does not have a pulse” after the words…“is not breathing”:
and does not have a pulse
“During your primary survey, you may discover that an unconscious adult is not breathing ^. If this
happens, begin the CPR sequence (30 compressions).”

Hypoxic Drive - Due on Session 4 Fill in the blanks Answers found in: Emergency Care Manual…pages 101-102
People with _______________________________ and / or _________________________ may eventually
develop a _____________________ to breathe.
In healthy individuals, the drive to breathe is from the amount of __________________________ in the blood.
People with ________________________ and / or __________________________ build up high levels of
_______________________ in the blood.
Due to the consistently high levels, the body looks to the __________________________________ to
determine the need to breathe.
If ______________________________ levels are low, the breathing rate increases.
In a person with ________________________ who has a true __________________________, increased
levels of _____________________ could signal the body to slow down or stop breathing entirely.
However this is rarely encountered in the field because EMS is usually called for a person who is
______________________________. In this case you should administer high-flow oxygen to the patient.

Drip Set Calculations - Due on Session 6 Answers found in: Emergency Care Manual…page 169, EMR Cheat Sheet
Drip Set Sizes
gtts = “drips”
ml = “milliliters”
gtts / ml = “how many drips add up to one milliliter”
Standard (Regular) 15 gtts / ml
Macro (Adult) 10 gtts / ml
Micro (Mini) 60 gtts / ml
gtts / minute (drips per minute) = volume (expressed in milliliters) to be infused X gtts / ml
Infusion time (expressed in minutes)
Calculate gtts (Drips) per minute needed to meet the required infusion rate:
Eg…Calculate drips per minute required for a Macro (Adult) sized Drip Set to infuse 380 ml/hour
380 ml x 10 gtts/ml = 60 minutes
3,800 = 60
63 drips per minute to infuse 380 ml over an hour* *(this would work out to roughly 1 drip every second)
Calculate drips per minute required for a Micro (Mini) sized Drip Set to infuse 150 ml/hour
Calculate drips per minute required for a Standard (Regular) sized Drip Set to infuse 200 ml/hour
