A patient has active external bleeding from a wound. Which approach to direct pressure best follows the recommended initial control method?
- A
Apply light pressure, lifting the dressing every few seconds to inspect the wound.
- B
Apply firm, direct pressure and maintain it steadily rather than repeatedly lifting the dressing.
- C
Delay pressure until the wound has been fully examined and photographed.
- D
Apply pressure only if the patient has already developed hypotension.

A trauma patient initially appears stable, but the mechanism of injury could cause major blood loss. Which assessment approach is most appropriate?
- A
Rely on the first set of vital signs if they are within normal limits.
- B
Wait for hypotension before repeating the examination.
- C
Repeat the examination and interpret changes in vital signs and clinical status over time.
- D
Use a single laboratory result instead of further examination.

A patient with major traumatic bleeding is also suspected of having a traumatic brain injury. Which resuscitation principle is most appropriate?
- A
Avoid permissive hypotension because inadequate blood pressure may worsen the brain injury.
- B
Use permissive hypotension routinely because lower pressure protects the injured brain.
- C
Delay hemorrhage control until the brain injury has been fully assessed.
- D
Use crystalloid alone to prevent any need for blood-pressure monitoring.

After significant trauma, a patient has a soft abdomen but develops worsening perfusion and confusion. What is the best next response?
- A
Reassure the patient because a soft abdomen excludes abdominal bleeding.
- B
Wait for hypotension before arranging further evaluation.
- C
Treat the visible injury only, since concealed bleeding would cause an obvious wound.
- D
Arrange urgent advanced evaluation and transport because the reassuring abdominal examination does not rule out internal bleeding.
