After a high-speed crash, a patient is pale and confused, has a deep thigh wound, and has unequal chest movement. Which initial team approach best addresses the immediate threats?

A
Control the major external bleed and address the immediate breathing threat, supporting oxygenation and circulation while reassessing.
B
Complete a detailed limb examination before treating either the bleeding or breathing problem.
C
Finish the entire secondary survey before deciding whether the chest finding needs attention.
D
Focus only on the thigh wound because an external bleed rules out another immediate threat.

A trauma patient initially has a normal blood pressure but later becomes more confused, with weak peripheral pulses, cool clammy skin, and rapid breathing. What is the most appropriate interpretation?

A
Shock is ruled out because the first blood-pressure reading was normal.
B
Evolving shock is possible, so reassess perfusion and look for bleeding, including concealed sources.
C
The findings are not concerning unless the patient loses consciousness.
D
The patient’s confusion alone establishes a primary neurologic cause, so a search for bleeding is unnecessary.

When planning destination and transport for an injured patient, which factors should the team consider? Select all that apply.

A
The patient’s physiology and injury pattern.
B
The mechanism of injury and any special patient factors.
C
Travel time and the capabilities of the regional trauma system.
D
Whether the destination can provide resources needed for definitive care.
E
A rule that the nearest facility is always appropriate, regardless of patient needs.
F
A transport mode and route that can minimize total prehospital time for a time-critical injury.

A patient has major hemorrhage and suspected significant traumatic brain injury. Which resuscitation principle is most appropriate?

A
Use permissive hypotension to reduce bleeding, even when significant traumatic brain injury is suspected.
B
Prioritize hemorrhage control and defer attention to oxygenation until bleeding has stopped.
C
Control hemorrhage while also preventing hypoxemia and hypotension, following the applicable resuscitation protocol.
D
Avoid monitoring blood pressure because a single reading cannot establish the cause of shock.

True or false

Continue the secondary survey so that all injuries are documented before treatment begins.
B
Stop the secondary survey and treat the life-threatening problem.
C
Complete the head-to-toe examination, then repeat the primary survey at the hospital.
D
Ask the recorder to manage the problem while the rest of the team continues the survey.

A
Wait until the airway clinician finishes before starting any other care.
B

During the primary survey, a patient must be examined for hidden injuries in a cold environment. Which approach best addresses both assessment and the risk of hypothermia?

A
Keep the patient fully covered throughout the assessment, even if injuries may be missed.
B
Leave the patient uncovered until all treatment and transport preparations are complete.
C
Expose enough to assess for injuries, then cover and actively protect the patient from heat loss.

A trauma patient remains poorly perfused, but no major external bleeding is apparent. Which response best fits the recommended approach?

A
Suspect internal hemorrhage and continue searching for a source while supporting oxygenation and perfusion.
B
Assume bleeding is controlled if no major external wound is visible.
C
Stop reassessment if the initial blood pressure was within a normal range.

A trauma patient’s vital signs have worsened after an intervention. Which prearrival report best communicates the patient’s course to the receiving facility?

A
Report only the most recent vital signs, because earlier measurements are no longer relevant.
B
Include initial and current vital signs and trends, mental status, interventions, and the response to treatment.
C
Wait until arrival to tell the receiving facility about changes that occurred during transport.
