Medical Emergencies and Sudden Illness – MCQ

Multiple Choice Questions

1. You used a casualty's adrenaline auto-injector for anaphylaxis five minutes ago. The ambulance has not arrived and they are no better. What now?
- Give a second auto-injector into the other thigh if one is available
- Wait for the ambulance, since second doses are hospital-only medicine
- Give an antihistamine tablet instead — two injections is an overdose
- Massage the first injection site firmly so the medicine spreads faster
2. A colleague with known epilepsy is having a seizure. When does this become a situation requiring an ambulance?
- Every seizure in a person with epilepsy requires an ambulance call

3. A person with diabetes has become unresponsive but is breathing. Their friend suggests putting honey inside their cheek. What should you do?
- Rub honey inside the cheek as suggested, since sugar can do no harm
- Give a diet drink in small sips, as sugary drinks would make it worse
- Give nothing by mouth — recovery position, then call an ambulance
- Inject their insulin for them, since being unconscious means high sugar
