You are performing an RTS on a cyclist who flipped over his front wheel after he hit a pothole. Witnesses say the patient flew and hit a lamppost before landing on the ground head first. Which of the following injuries should be treated during the RTS? A degloving injury of the right forearm with no profuse bleeding A laceration of a major artery in the left upper arm that is spurting large amounts of blood A hematoma on the patient's neck Bilateral fractured ankles with deformity and contusions

A laceration of a major artery in the left upper arm that is spurting large amounts of blood

A patient has a high-speed collision that resulted in his vehicle coming to an almost immediate stop. You have a high index of suspicion that the patient has a ruptured liver as indicated by MOI and reports from the patient that his abdomen is very tender when being examined. During which component of the RTS, would you have discovered the liver was tender? Lower back Abdomen - Right Upper Quadrant Abdomen - Left Upper Quadrant Abdomen - Left Lower Quadrant

Abdomen - Right Upper Quadrant

In which of the following cases should a provider perform an RTS? At the scene of an MVA where a vehicle in a parking lot, reversed into another car and the driver hit his arm on the car door causing a large contusion. The contusion is the only injury. An elderly person was walking his dog in a local park, when the dog got spooked and ran off. The elderly person tried to run after the dog, but fractured his hip after the first few steps, and then took a tumble down four steps, knocking himself unconscious in the process. A worker at a local electronics store was removing an item from its blister packaging with a box knife. The knife slipped and the worker lacerated his radial artery. The artery spurted blood for about two minutes before coworkers could stop the bleeding with rags. At a pedestrian vehicle accident at a residential home where a car drove over a person's foot.

You are assessing a trauma patient's pelvis for injuries. Which of the following is a correct method of assessing pelvic injury? The pelvic bone cannot be assessed for injury in the prehospital environment. Press firmly down on the pelvis and then squeeze the pelvis to see if you can make the bone move. Check for pelvic asymmetry, rotational deformity of the legs, and bruising around the pelvis. The presence of incontinence or priapism will indicate pelvic injury.

What is the correct sequence of the RTS Head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, lower extremities, upper extremities, upper back, lower back, and the buttocks Airway, neck, head, chest, abdomen, pelvis, lower extremities, upper extremities, upper back, lower back, and the buttocks Airway, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, lower extremities, upper back, lower back, and the buttocks Scene size up, circulation, airway, breathing

Head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, lower extremities, upper extremities, upper back, lower back, and the buttocks

Your trauma patient has a massive hemothorax. During auscultation, you would expect to find _______ of the chest. Hyperresonance Intercostal retractions Hyporesonance Rales

Hyperresonance

Your patient has a sucking chest wound, distended neck veins, hyperresonance on one side of the chest, and a tachycardia. Which of the following is the highest priority treatment for this patient? Pericardiocentesis in the ambulance Rapid transport to a trauma center only Needle decompression Seal the sucking chest wound and strap the chest to limit further pressure build up

Needle decompression

You have responded to an incident in a local subway station where an explosion has occurred. Your partner and you are treating two patients. The first patient has a pneumothorax, and the second patient has a head injury after being thrown into the air and hitting her head on a concrete bench when she landed. The first patient has a ____________ blast injury, and the second patient has a ____________ blast injury. Primary / secondary Primary / tertiary Secondary / tertiary Secondary / quaternary

Primary / tertiary

A rapid trauma assessment should be completed in what time-frame if no lifesaving interventions need to be completed? Less than sixty seconds Sixty to ninety seconds Less than two minutes Five minutes

Sixty to ninety seconds

You are on the scene of an MVA and your patient is entrapped in the driver's seat. The patient has been alert and talking to you. The patient begins to complain of difficulty in breathing, and you notice the neck's veins are distended. What injury might this indicate? Upper airway obstruction Abdominal bleeding Tension pneumothorax Fractured pelvis

Tension pneumothorax

A driver falls asleep at the wheel of his motor vehicle while travelling at high speed. The car veers of the road and hits a concrete barrier. The driver was wearing a seatbelt and was protected by surround airbags which all deployed correctly. While treating the patient, the provider develops a high index of suspicion that the patient has a ruptured spleen. Considering the "three-collision" concept, which collision is most likely to have cause the patient's spleen to be injured? The three-collision concept is not applicable to this situation. The first collision. The second collision. The third collision.

The third collision.

Which of the following are major determinants of the extent of penetrating trauma? The velocity of the object entering the body and area of the body impacted The amount of compression, the time of compression, and area being compressed The speed of the colliding object only The velocity of the object and the time of decompression

The velocity of the object entering the body and area of the body impacted

Which of the following statements explains, at a high level, why trauma occurs? Trauma occurs when the body is exposed to low levels of kinetic energy. Trauma occurs because of the transfer of any level of over a long enough duration. Trauma occurs because of the transfer of energy in a high enough quantity, and short enough duration is enough to cause damage at the cellular level. Trauma occurs when the body is exposed to Newton's Laws.
