24
What is hypothermia?
General cooling of the body. Pale,slow and shallow breathing, faint pulse or unpredictable, tissue feels semi-rigid, arms and legs stiff
25
What is superficial frostbite?
When ice crystals are forming in the upper skin layers after exposure to a temperature of 32 degrees or lower
26
What is deep frostbite?
Develops when ice crystals are forming in the deeper tissues a after exposure to a temperature of 32 degrees or lower
27
Septic shock
Resulted from bacteria multiplying in the blood and releasing toxins
28
Anaphylactic shock
A type of severe hypersensivity or allergic reaction.
29
Carcinogenic shock
Occurs when the heart is damaged and unable to supply sufficient blood to the body
30
Hypovolemic shock
Caused by severe blood and fluid loss
31
Neurogenic shock?
Caused by spinal chord injury

What is the head tilt chin lift?
Used to introduce air into the lungs
38
What is ORM?
Operational risk management
39
What are the five steps to ORM?
Identify hazards, assess hazards, make risk decisions, implement controls, supervise
40
Name the different classes of mishaps?
Class A, B, C
41
Class A
Property damage 2,000,000 or more; or an injury resulting in a fatality or permanent total disability
42
Class B

43
Class C
Property damage is 50,000 or more but less than 500,000; a non-fatal injury that causes any loss of time beyond the day or shift.
44
What is PPE?
Personal protective equipment
45
Give examples of PPE?
Cranial, eye protection, hearing protection, impact protection, gloves, foot protection
46
What does CBR stand for?

60
What is radiological warfare?
Deliberate use of radiological weapons to produce widespread injury and death of all life
61
What is a high altitude burst?
Occurs at altitudes in excess of 100,000 ft, with ionosphere disruption and EMP
62
What is an air burst?
Where the fireball does not reach the surface. Vacuum created collects debris caused by the severe blast damage resulting in radiation fallout.
63
What is a surface burst?
Has the worst fallout due to the fireball touching the surface which results in massive radioactive fallout.
64
What is a shallow underwater burst?
Has a small fireball and blast wave, causes large waves and water contamination
65
What is a deep underwater burst?
Similar to the shallow underwater burst but with less visual effect and yields greater contaminated water
66
What is a ready shelter?
Stations are just inside the weather envelope, with access to deep shelter
67
What is a deep shelter?
Low in the ship and near the centerline. Provide maximum shielding from nuclear radiation
68
What is the DT-60 dosimeter?
Non-self reading high range causality dosimeter. Determines the total amount of gamma radiation to which the wearer is exposed in the 0-600 roetgens
69
What is the three parts of the firefighting triangle?
Heat,oxygen, fuel
70
What is an alpha fire?
Occur in combustible materials that produce an ash such as burning wood.
71
What is a bravo fire?
Occur with flammable liquid substances such as gasoline, jet fuels, oil, and other petroleum based products.
72
What is a Charlie fire?
Energized electrical fires that are attacked by using non-conductive agents
73
What is a delta fire?
Combustible metals such as magnesium and titanium.
74
What is AFFF?
Aqueous film forming foam
75
What's the mixture of AFFF to sea water?
94% water, 6% AFFF
76
What is halon 1211?
Colorless, faintly sweet smelling, electrically no conductive gas that leaves no residue to clean up. Primarily used for class B and C fires.
77
What is PKP?
Potassium bicarbonate (purple K powder) intended for class B fires, breaks the combustion chain
78
