Update) Questions & Answers 100%
Correct (Verified Solutions) - {Grade A}
How do you care for an amputated body part? - Correct answer Wrap the amputated
body part loosely with moistened gauze. If possible, place it in a plastic bag; if not,
wrap it with cravats to cover all of the gauze. Then place the bag, or the cravat-
covered body part, in a container with ice, if available.
What kind of dressing should be placed on burned areas? - Correct answer A dry
sterile dressing
What should you do first when you encounter a casualty with an electrical burn? -
Correct answer Secure the power, if possible; otherwise, remove the casualty from the
electrical source using a nonconductive object, such as a wooden stick.
What should you do first when you encounter a casualty with a thermal burn? - Correct
answer Stop the source of the burn
,What size burn requires a fluid resuscitation? - Correct answer For burns > 20% TBSA,
initiate fluid resuscitation as soon as IV/O access is established.
What would be the fluid infusion rate for a 90 kg person with a 40% burn according to
the USAISR Rule of Ten? - Correct answer 500ml/hr. The initial IV/O fluid rate is the
%TBSA x 10 ml/hr for adults weighing 40-80 kg. For every 10 kg above 80 kg, increase
the initial rate by 100 ml/hr. 40% × 10 ml/hr = 400ml/hr 400ml/hr +
100ml/hr = 500m/hr
What are the three objectives of fracture management and splinting? - Correct answer
The primary objectives of fracture management and splinting are to prevent further
injury to local tissues or organs, to protect the nerves and vessels that run parallel to
bones, and to make the casualty more comfortable by relieving some pain.
True or False: When applying a splint, ensure the joints above and below the fracture
are immobilized in the splint whenever possible. - Correct answer True. Always
incorporate the joint proximal and the joint distal to the site of the fracture in your
splint.
,What should you assess before and after splinting? - Correct answer Pulses, skin
color, and sensorimotor function distal to the site of the fracture should be assessed.
Once you have applied a splint, be sure to reassess the pulses motor and sensory
(PMS) function distal to the fracture, and compare that to the baseline PMS
assessment you performed prior to splint application.
What does AVPU stand for? - Correct answer The AVPU method, or Alert, Verbally
responsive, Pain responsive, or Unresponsive, provides responders the information
they need to make decisions.
Why do the TCCC Guidelines recommend checking a radial pulse? - Correct answer The
presence or absence of radial pulses is used as a sign of hypotension for determining
shock and recommending fluid resuscitation.
What is the importance of following trends in vital signs? - Correct answer Trends in
vital signs provide insight into the casualty's clinical course that help the responder
, identify the need for interventions or assessments earlier than would happen with a
single set of vital signs.
Who should a combat medic corpsman communicate with during the Tactical Field
Care phase of care? - Correct answer • The casualty
• Other medical and nonmedical responders
• The tactical leadership
• The evacuation system
Which lines of a MEDEVAC must be transmitted for an asset to be launched? - Correct
answer Lines 1-5 are enough information to initiate a MEDEVAC depending upon pre-
planning and coordination between tactical and evacuation units.
Lines 6-9 can be transmitted while the evacuation asset is en route.
What information does the MIST report contain? - Correct answer • Mechanism of
injury
• Injuries
• Signs/Symptoms
