Bell's palsy is a temporary weakness or paralysis of which cranial nerve?

A female patient who is 35 weeks pregnant tripped and fell down 12 stairs. She is complaining of back pain as well as nausea. She is fully immobilized and being nonemergently transported to the hospital for evaluation. While en route, she exclaims that she is having contractions and thinks that her water may have broken. Which one of the following should you do immediately?

A) Provide rapid transport and continue monitoring. B) Examine her genitalia for crowning or bleeding. C) Tilt the long spine board to the left side. D) Release her from the long board and prepare for delivery.

When obtaining vital signs on a 67-year-old male with dizziness and nausea, your partner states that the pulse seems to disappear periodically when the patient takes a deep breath. As a knowledgeable EMT, your best response would be:

A) "Given the patient's age, that is a typical finding and not an immediate concern." B) "That is an important finding. We will have to let the doctor know of this." C) "Let's move him to the stretcher for transport. That is an early sign of cardiac arrest." D) "That is important in that it suggests the radial artery is partially blocked."
