A patient rescued from an enclosed-space fire has soot in the mouth but is alert, breathing comfortably, and has no hoarseness or stridor. What is the best approach?

  1. A

    Intubate every patient with soot in the mouth

  2. B

    Provide oxygen as indicated, arrange evaluation and burn-center consultation, and monitor closely for change

  3. C

    Discharge the patient because there is no stridor

  4. D

    Use the pulse-oximeter reading alone to exclude inhalation injury

A patient with facial and neck burns is initially speaking clearly, but facial swelling is increasing before a prolonged transfer. What is the best priority?

  1. A

    Reassess the airway, urgently consult experienced airway and burn-care teams, and consider securing the airway before deterioration makes it more difficult

  2. B

    Rely on the initial assessment because the patient was speaking clearly

  3. C

    Wait until the patient becomes cyanotic

  4. D

    Apply a burn dressing to reduce airway swelling

Which statement about singed nasal hairs in a burn patient is most accurate?

  1. A

    Singed nasal hairs alone always require immediate intubation

  2. B

    Singed nasal hairs alone do not automatically require intubation, but call for careful assessment and monitoring

  3. C

    Singed nasal hairs rule out inhalation injury

  4. D

    Singed nasal hairs mean airway reassessment is unnecessary

  3. C

    Confusion needs no assessment if the patient has a burn

  4. D

    Withhold oxygen until a blood test result is available
