The gas law that states that the amount of a gas in a solution varies directly with the partial pressure of a gas over the solution is known as:

Negative gravitational forces result from a steep dive in an aircraft. How is blood flow impacted by these forces?

After drawing up 2 mL of fentanyl (50 mcg/mL) into a 3-mL syringe, you tell your partner you will give 50 mcg but administer 2 mL. The patient was unharmed. What type of incident occurred?

After a rapid decompression in a fixed-wing aircraft, the flight crew becomes hypoxic. After applying high-flow oxygen, they rapidly regain clear cognition followed by a period of dizziness. This condition is known as:

A(n) __________ is a patient safety event in which an error reaches a patient and results in death.

You receive a request for an air medical transfer of a trauma patient from a community hospital to a trauma center. The patient has sustained multiple rib fractures to their left chest, a simple pneumothorax, and a left femur fracture. During your assessment at the transferring facility, the patient presents as stable with no respiratory impairment and equal lung sounds. Shortly after reaching cruising altitude, the patient develops respiratory distress, decreased lung sounds on their left, and signs of shock. Which gas law is likely contributing to the patient’s declining condition?

Most humans can survive forces between ______ g and ______ g.
