Which of the following does not represent appropriate supplies to have on hand in preparation for emergency situations?
  1. Endotracheal tubes
  2. Laryngoscope
  3. Drugs predrawn into labeled syringes
  4. Electrocardiographic monitor
Explanation
Answer: C - Having drugs predrawn into labeled syringes is not an example of an appropriate preparation for an emergency situation. Many drugs are sensitive to light and to the plastic of syringes, and therefore should not be drawn up until ready for immediate use. A kit with emergency drugs would likely contain syringes ready for use and a chart indicating common dosages of emergency drugs.
