Emergency Preparedness Response Course (EPRC) - Basic Awareness Course (2 hrs)

A systematic approach to the immediate assessment and treatment of critically ill or injured persons is represented by the acronym ABCDE, which stands for: (Operations, page 10 of 20)

Airway, breathing, circulation, disability, exposure

___________ is (are) a collection of various intentional threats and unintentional contamination hazards. (All Hazards, page 2 of 35)

All-hazards

__________ eliminates critical seams and ties together a complete spectrum of incident management activities. (All Hazards, page 2 of 35)

All-hazards Approach

Coughing/flu-like symptoms, fever, weakness or fatigue, vomiting and diarrhea may be symptoms of what type of CBRNE exposure? (All Hazards, page 22 of 35)

Biological

What CBRNE agent are microorganisms and/or biologically derived compounds or molecules that cause disease in personnel, plants, or animals? (All Hazards, page 19 of 35)

Biological

One of the basic self-decontamination rules includes flushing body and clothing with large quantities of water. (Operations, page 9 of 20)

False

What measure should you NOT take to protect yourself during a CBRNE incident? (Operations, page 6 of 20)

Get downhill and downwind of the source of contamination

Burned skin, shrapnel wounds, blunt trauma injuries, and ruptured hollow organs may be symptoms of what type of CBRNE exposure? (All Hazards, page 32 of 35)

High-yield explosives

These chemical agents produce temporary disabling conditions that can be physical or mental and persist for hours or days after exposure to the agent has ceased. (All Hazards, page 13 of 35)

Incapacitating agents

"All-hazards" incidents are often categorized as: (Select all that apply)

Natural Technological Threats or human-caused

) Level ___ is used when nuisance contamination is present only requiring the lowest form of chemical and/or respiratory protection. (Operations, page 7 of 20) [Remediation Accessed :N]

Not A. Maybe D.

1) Which of the following is NOT a type of biological agent. (All Hazards, page 20 of 35) [Remediation Accessed :N]

What common characteristic is NOT associated with terrorist activities known around the world? (All Hazards, pages 6 and 10 of 35)

The rationale for the use of an "all-hazards" approach is to eliminate critical seams, to tie together a complete spectrum of incident management activities that either reduce or eliminate the impact of a hazard or incident.
