a. obtain a CT scan of the head.
b. administerdecadron 20 mg IV.
c. perform endotracheal intubation.
d. initiate an W line and administer Mannitol 1 g/kg.
e. perform an emergency linar hole on the side of the dilated pupil.
2) Contraindication to nasogastric intubation is the presence of a

3) A 24-year-old man sustains multiple fractured ribs
bilaterally as a result of being crushed in a press at a
plywood factory. Examination in the emergency department
reveals a flail segment of the patient's thorax. Primary
resuscitation includes high-flow oxygen administration via a
nonrebreathing mask, and initiation of Ringer' s lactate
solution. The patient exhibits progressive confusion,
cyanosis, and tachypnea. Management at this time should
consist of
a. intravenous sedation.
b. external stabilization of the chest wall.
c. increasing the F102 in the inspired gas.
d. intercostal nerve blocks for pain relief.
e. endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation.
4) During resuscitation, which one of the following is the
most reliable as a guide to volume replacement?
a. Pulse rate
b. Hematocrit
