• 1. What is the suggested course of action for treating frostbite?
A. Vasodilators
B. Immersion in warm water at about 40°C
C. Only elevation and padding
D. Heat application with a hair dryer
Response: B. Immersion in warm water at about 40°C
Justification:
• The recommended treatment for frostbite is rapid rewarming in a circulating water bath
at 37 to 40°C (about).
• Because of the possibility of uneven heating and tissue damage, using hair dryers or dry
heat is not advised.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────

2. Out of the following physical findings, which one does not point to spinal cord injury as
the cause of hypotension?
A. Priapism
B. Bradycardia
C. Breathing through the diaphragm
D. Deep tendon reflexes are present.
D. Deep tendon reflexes are present.
Justification:
• Below the site of damage, spinal shock usually manifests as flaccidity and loss of
reflexes.
• Deep tendon reflexes that are preserved or brisk indicate that spinal cord damage is not
the exclusive cause of the hypotension.

3. Transferring a patient to a higher-level trauma center is primarily indicated by:
A. Lack of a surgeon or other operating personnel
B. injuries to several systems, including a serious head injury
C. restrictions on resources as established by the transferring physician
D. X-ray of the chest showing widened mediastinum following traumatic trauma
Answer: C. The transferring physician's assessment of resource constraints
,Justification:
• A transfer is recommended when the existing facility is unable to adequately manage the
patient due to a lack of equipment, clinical experience, or specialist availability.
• Depending on local resources, the doctor in charge of the patient's care makes the final
decision.

4. A young man was shot in the middle of his abdomen. His systolic blood pressure is 58
mmHg when he comes, and even after receiving heated crystalloid fluids quickly, his
condition does not get better. The next best course of action is to:
A. Prompt laparotomy
B. CT scan of the abdomen
C. Ultrasonography of the abdomen (FAST)
D. Peritoneal lavage for diagnostic purposes (DPL)
Response: A. Prompt laparotomy
Justification:
• Surgically controlling bleeding is the top goal when there is penetrating abdominal
injuries and ongoing hypotension.
• When a patient is clearly in need of surgery and extremely unstable, diagnostic imaging
(CT, FAST, and DPL) is not recommended.

5. For several hours, a 42-year-old man is confined beneath an overturned tractor. After
being awake at first, he is now asleep and unable to move his lower limbs, not even in
response to painful stimuli. This lower-extremity finding's most likely cause is:
A. fracture of the pelvis
B. Syndrome of the central cord
C. Hemorrhage inside the brain
D. Syndrome of the bilateral compartment
D. Bilateral compartment syndrome is the response.
Justification:
• Crush injuries and compartment syndrome in the lower extremities can result from
prolonged entrapment.
• Increased compartment pressures and impaired tissue perfusion can account for both legs'
ongoing neurological impairments and lack of mobility.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────
──────────────────────────────────────
, 6. After being hit by a car, a 6-year-old boy is taken to the emergency department. With a
systolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg, an HR of 140 bpm, and a respiratory rate of 36
breaths per minute, he is sluggish. For this child, the preferred venous access route is:
A. Cannulation of the femoral vein percutaneously
B. Access through the proximal tibia
C. The upper extremities' percutaneous peripheral vein
D. Central venous entry through the internal jugular vein or subclavia
Answer: C. Upper extremity percutaneous peripheral vein
Justification:
• If possible, peripheral intravenous (IV) access is typically the quickest and safest for
kids.
• When peripheral IV access is difficult to obtain or fails, intraosseous access is a great
substitute.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────

7. A young man who has been shot in the abdomen shows up chilly, diaphoretic, and
hypotensive. The following is the final course of treatment for this hypotension:
A. Give blood that is O-negative.
B. Use outside heating equipment.
C. Operationally manage internal bleeding
D. Large volumes of intravenous crystalloid solutions are infused.
C. Operationally manage internal bleeding
Justification:
• Damage control surgery, or definitive surgical control of hemorrhage, is crucial when
hypovolemia results from persistent intra-abdominal bleeding.
• If bleeding persists, blood and crystalloid resuscitation are insufficient on their own.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────
──────────────────────────────────────
8. Which of the following statements about a youngster experiencing shock is FALSE?
A. Compared to adults, children have larger physiological reserves.
B. The main compensatory mechanism for hypovolemia is tachycardia.
C. Shock can be produced with the same absolute blood volume as in adults.
D. Usually, 20 milliliters per kilogram of Ringer's lactate is the first fluid bolus given
during resuscitation.
