CTS Past Papers
All Candidate Testing Service (CTS) Solved Current and Past Papers are included in this section of ETEST Website. All MCQs of CTS are Solved with Short Detail. We Update ETEST Website on daily basis.
Devices used for immobilization in orthopedic care include:
- Splints
- Traction System
- Braces
- All of these
- d
-
Immobilization stabilizes injured bones or joints, prevents further damage, reduces pain, and promotes proper healing.
A Traction System is a medical device used in orthopaedic care to pull and hold a fractured bone or injured limb in the correct position using a steady pulling force.
Regarding acute tissue injuries like sprains, cryotheraphy (cold application) is:
- Less effective than heat initially
- Only useful for pain relief
- The recommended treatment within the first 24-48 hours
- Contradicted for burns
- c
-
Cryotheraphy is use of cold to reduce inflammation, swelling and pain in acute injuries such as sprain, strains and contusions.
Acute injuries are injuries that happen suddenly because of an accident or a specific event.
Ice plays important role in the first 24-48 hours for acute injuries.
The three essential elements of the Fire Triangle are:
- Fuel, Heat and Oxygen
- Flame, High Temperature and Air
- Combustion Material, Spark and Nitrogen
- Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide and Fuel
- a
-
If one element of the fire removed, fire stops.
Removing of these elements defines three methods to stop the fire, which are:
Cooling (Removing Heat by Water)
Smothering (Removing Oxygen by CO2, Foam etc)
Starvation (Removing fuel by cut off Supply)
For a Class C fire, involving energized electric equipment, the appropriate extinguisher is:
- Water Based
- Carbon Dioxide and Dry Powder
- Wet Chemical
- Foam Based
- b
-
First disconnect the power supply if safe, then use CO₂ or Dry Powder extinguisher.
Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) and Dry Chemical Powder are non-conductors of electricity.
Water conducts electricity and can spread the fire.
Plastic burn is A class Fire.
Oil burning is B class Fire.
The primary purpose of urban search and rescue to:
- Restore utility services
- Locate and provide aid to people in immediate danger
- Provide definitive medical care on site
- Control public crowd
- b
-
USAR stands for Urban Search and Rescue.
Priority is given to victims in immediate danger.
USAR is used to search the traped victims, structural assessment, safe extrication and provision of basic medical support to stabilize the patient.
USAR teams provide BLS.
BLS stands for Basic Life Support.
A 4 years old patient in respiratory distress with a high pitched aspiratory sound, drizzling and tripod positioning. You suspect:
- Epiglottitis
- Asthma
- FBAO
- None of these
- a
-
This disease commonly effects children 2-7 years old.
Epiglottitis is a life-threatening airway emergency.
Epiglottitis is a serious and life-threatening condition in which the epiglottis (a small flap in the throat) becomes swollen and inflamed.
Common signs of Epiglottitis are high fever, difficulty in breathing, high pitched sound and drooling.
In disaster response, the critical period when trapped victims have the highest survival probability is typically the first:
- 3 Hours
- 24 Hours (The Golden Day)
- 72 Hours
- 96 Hours
- c
-
Fist 72 hours are called Golden 72 Hours.
In disaster management, the first 72 hours after a disaster are considered the most critical period for rescuing trapped victims, as survival chances are highest during this window.
Most trapped victims survive only up to 72 hours without food and water.
Dehydration becomes life-threatening after 3 days (≈72 hours).
The process of cleaning the nasal passages by gently flowing a solution in and out is called:
- Antral Lavage
- Nasal Irrigation
- Tracheal Suction
- Bronchial Washing
- b
-
Nasal irrigation is the process of cleansing the nasal cavity by gently flushing saline solution through one nostril and allowing it to exit through the other nostril or mouth.
The purpose of Nasal Irrigation is to remove mucus, allergens, dust and pathogens to improve breathing.
Which finding is a LATE sign of shock?
- Hypotension
- Pale, Cool Skin
- Tachycardia
- Anxiety or Restlessness
- a
-
Late signs of shock are Hypotension, Weak or Absent pulses, Cold Clammy Skin and Altered mental status.
Early signs of shock are Tachycardia, Pale, Cool Skin, Anxiety or Restless
