and Ventilation"
-Four of these must be identified to assess patency and
protection of the airway: - CORRECT ANSWER-bony deformity, loose

*An adult patient who sustained a severe head trauma has been
intubated and is being manually ventilated via a bag-mask
device at a rate of 18 breaths/minute. The patient has received
one intravenous fluid bolus of 500 mL of warmed isotonic
crystalloid solution. The PaCO2 is 30 mm Hg (4.0 kPa), and the
pulse oximetry is 92%. BP is 142/70 mm Hg. What is the most
, important intervention to manage the cerebral blood flow? -
CORRECT ANSWER-A.Decrease the rate of manual ventilation.
An older adult presents to the emergency department with
complaints of dizziness, headache, and nausea. The patient was
involved in a motor vehicle collision 10 days ago. There was no
loss of consciousness and a hematoma is noted to the forehead.
The patient is currently on anticoagulant therapy. What is most
likely the cause of their symptoms?
A.Intracerebral hemorrhage
B.Epidural hematoma
C.Diffuse axonal injury
D.Post-concussive syndrome - CORRECT ANSWER-post-concussive
syndrome
A patient with a lower extremity fracture complains of severe
pain and tightness in his calf, minimally relieved by pain
medications. Which of the following is the priority nursing
intervention?
A.Elevating the leg above the level of the heart
B.Repositioning the leg and applying ice
C.Elevating the leg to the level of the heart
D.Preparing the patient for ultrasound of the leg - CORRECT
ANSWER-C.Elevating the leg to the level of the heart
