TCRN quick study UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT Answers
1. Sternal fractures Blunt cardiac injury
are associated with pneumothorax
what injuries?
2. Lower rib fractures Liver (Right)
(7-12) are associat- spleen (left)
ed with what in-
juries?
3. FOCA For chest tube assessment
fluctuation in water seal chamber
output
color of drainage
air leak present
4. Chest tube prob- - initial drainage greater than 1500 mL
lems to notify MD - continual loss of blood of more than 200 mL/hr for 2-4 hours
5. Neurogenic shock - a loss of vascular resistance and massive vasodilation
- hypotension, bradycardia, flush/warm skin, decreased LOC
6. Breathe no more C1-C4
7. Raises arms C5
8. bend at elbows C6
9. arms up and down C7
10. fists C8
11. no sensation at nip- T4
ples and below
, 12. no sensation waist T10
down
13. no sensation butt S3
down
14. Anterior cord syn- - flexion injuries
drome - complete motor loss of function below the level of injury
- loss of pain and temp sensation occurs below the level of injury
15. Posterior cord in- - extension and flexion injuries
jury - loss of motor and sensory function in the upper extremities that is greater than
that of the lower extremities
- fine motor control loss most common
16. Brown-Sequard - AKA hemicord syndrome
syndrome - partial transection
- intact motor function and decreased sensation on one side of the body,
decreased motor function and intact sensation on the other side
17. tidal volume (VT) volume of air set to be delivered each breath
500-800 mL of air
18. FiO2 oxygen concentration
typically between 35-100 %
19. PEEP positive end expiratory pressure
keeps alveoli open with positive pressure at the end of respiration
improves gas exchange
keeps alveoli open to push oxygen in and CO2 out
20. PIP peak inspiratory pressure
max pressure during inspiration
