1. Which of the following is the recommended method for treating frostbite?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




A. Vasodilators
B. Warm water immersion at approximately 40°C
hg hg hg hg hg




C. Padding and elevation only hg hg hg




D. Application of heat from a hairdryer hg hg hg hg hg




Answer: B. Warm water immersion at approximately 40°C
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




Rationale:
• Rapid rewarming in a circulating water bath at 37–40°C (approx.) is the
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




hg standard of care for frostbite management.
hg hg hg hg hg




• Use of hairdryers or dry heat is contraindicated due to the risk of uneven
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




hg heating and tissue damage.
hg hg hg

2. Which of the following physical findings suggests a cause of hypotension
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




other than spinal cord injury?
hg hg hg hg hg




A. Priapism
B. Bradycardia
C. Diaphragmatic h g breathing
D. Presence of deep tendon reflexes hg hg hg hg




Answer: D. Presence of deep tendon reflexes
hg hg hg hg hg hg




Rationale:
• Spinal shock typically presents with flaccidity and loss of reflexes below the
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




level of injury.
hg hg hg




• Preserved or brisk deep tendon reflexes suggest that the hypotension is not
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




hg solely due to spinal cord injury.

3. The primary indication for transferring a patient to a higher-level trauma
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




hg center is: hg




A. Unavailability of a surgeon or operating staff hg hg hg hg hg hg




B. Multiple system injuries (including severe head injury)
hg hg hg hg hg hg




C. Resource limitations as determined by the transferring doctor
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




D. Widened mediastinum on chest X-ray after blunt trauma
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




Answer: C. Resource limitations as determined by the transferring doctor
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




Rationale:
• Transfer is indicated when the current facility lacks the necessary
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




resources— clinical expertise, specialist availability, or equipment—to
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




hg manage the patient effectively.
hg hg hg




• The decision rests with the physician responsible for the patient’s care, based
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




on local capabilities.

4. A young man has a gunshot wound to the mid-abdomen. He arrives
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




hg hypotensive (systolic blood pressure 58 mmHg) and does not improve despite
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




hg rapid infusion of warmed crystalloid fluids. The next most appropriate step is
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




hg to:


A. Immediate laparotomy hg




B. Abdominal CT scan hg hg




C. Abdominal h g ultrasonography h g (FAST)
D. Diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL) hg hg hg




Answer: A. Immediate laparotomy hg hg hg




Rationale:

, • In the setting of penetrating abdominal trauma with persistent hypotension,
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




hg the priority is to control hemorrhage surgically.
hg hg hg hg hg hg




• Diagnostic imaging (CT, FAST, DPL) is not indicated when the patient is
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




hg profoundly unstable and in obvious need of operative intervention.
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
5. A 42-year-old man is trapped for several hours under an overturned tractor.
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




hg He was alert initially, but now is unconscious and shows no movement of his
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




hg lower extremities (even to painful stimuli). The most likely cause of this lower-
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




extremity finding is: hg hg




A. Pelvic fracture hg




B. Central cord syndrome hg hg




C. Intracerebral h g hemorrhage
D. Bilateral compartment syndrome hg hg




Answer: D. Bilateral compartment syndrome
hg hg hg hg




Rationale:
• Prolonged entrapment can lead to crush injury and compartment syndrome in
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




hg the lower extremities.
hg hg




• Absence of movement and persistent neurological deficits in both legs can be
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




hg explained by compromised tissue perfusion and increased compartment
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




pressures.

6. A 6-year-old boy is struck by an automobile and brought to the ED. He
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




hg is lethargic with a systolic BP of 90 mmHg, HR 140 bpm, and RR 36
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




hg breaths per minute. The preferred route of venous access in this child is:
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




A. Percutaneous femoral vein cannulation hg hg hg




B. Intraosseous access in the proximal tibia hg hg hg hg hg




C. Percutaneous peripheral vein in the upper extremities hg hg hg hg hg hg
