Nitroglycerin & ASA (Aspirin) Administration Self-Test for Emergency Medical Responders in BC.
As an Emergency Medical Responder preparing for BC EMALB Licensing evaluations, one of the most subtle and complex skills you must become comfortable with is the decision making process to administer Nitro Spray and ASA tablets for a patient experiencing cardiac chest pains.
Practicing Nitro and ASA administration in a hands-on scenario is important, but you need to make sure you are repeatedly performing the correct steps in the correct sequence, when the indications and contraindications make it appropriate. Practice only makes perfect if practiced perfectly.
Completing the Nitro-ASA Administration self-test is a quick and easy way to consistently reinforce all the steps and mnemonics, including all the Indications and Contraindications of both Nitroglycerin and ASA.
Having the Nitro-ASA Administration protocols reflexively memorized leaves you with more time to think about how to apply those decisions during a scenario, evaluations and actual patient care.
You can download and fill out the Nitro & ASA Administration self-test as many times as you need to feel completely familiar with the steps. The "Answer Key" for this self-test can be found in your Emergency Medical Responder Cheat Sheet.
