    This document contains two multiple choice practice questions about emergency medical situations: 1. The first question asks about why hypoglycemia and ischemic stroke can present similarly. The key reason is that both conditions deprive the brain of either oxygen or glucose, which are both needed for normal brain function. 2. The second question addresses the top concern when dealing with an emotionally disturbed patient. The most important concern is one's own safety, as safely transporting the patient to the hospital is the ultimate goal. 3. The third question provides a scenario of rescuing a panicking swimmer. The best initial rescue attempt is to throw the victim a flotation device rather than entering the water.
