EMT Trauma Practice Test 2025 – Comprehensive Exam Prep

Question: 1 / 400

A motorcyclist involved in a collision is found unconscious and has unequal pupils, irregular respirations, and bradycardia. These signs are indicative of:

cardiac tamponade.

Cardiac tamponade is the correct answer because these signs, including unequal pupils, irregular respirations, and bradycardia, can be indicative of decreased blood flow to the brain, which can be caused by a serious condition such as cardiac tamponade. Options B, C, and D do not fully explain all of the given signs and are therefore incorrect. Increased intracranial pressure may explain unequal pupils and irregular respirations, but not bradycardia. Spinal cord injury may explain unequal pupils and bradycardia, but not irregular respirations. Traumatic asphyxia may explain bradycardia, but not unequal pupils or irregular respirations.
