Multiple Choice

What statement indicates that an EMT understands the appropriate use of supplemental oxygen regarding care of a stroke patient?

• A) "In the short time that we provide care to a stroke patient, the benefits of high-concentration oxygen outweigh the risks."
• B) "If positive pressure ventilation is required, it should be given with room air and not supplemental oxygen."
• C) "Since stroke decreases oxygen delivery to the brain, high-concentration oxygen should always be geared toward achieving an SpO₂ as near to 100% as possible."
• D) "Oxygen should be administered at a minimal amount, just enough to get the SpO₂ at or above 94%."
