2026-2027 LATEST UPDATE ALREADY GRADED A+
✅ Key Features:
• 60 Actual Exam Questions with Correct Answers Verified, accurate, and
updated for 2026-2027 Covers essential TCAR domains: o Trauma
systems & initial resuscitation o Neurological trauma care o Thoracic,
abdominal, and musculoskeletal trauma o Evidence-based interventions and
best practices
• Designed to mirror the official TCAR Post-Test structure
• Supports first-attempt pass success
📘 Best For:
• Nurses preparing for the TCAR Post-Test
• Trauma and critical care professionals seeking structured review
• Learners aiming to strengthen trauma assessment, intervention, and evidence-
based care knowledge
1.A hemodynamically stable patient was transfused 500 mL of red blood cells. Approximately how much
of that volume will remain in the vascular space 60 minutes later?
250 mL
83 mL
333 mL
500 mL - answer-500 mL
2.Common causes of non-hemorrhagic fluid loss in the trauma patient during the post-resuscitation
phase of care include mechanical ventilation and isotonic tube feedings. hypometabolism and
interstitial fluid shifts.
diarrhea and hypertonic enteral formulas. pressure dressings and renal contusions. - answer-
hypometabolism and interstitial fluid shifts.
, 3.The primary goal of early, small-volume enteral feeding is to support the intestinal mucosa and reduce
bacterial and toxin translocation. post-traumatic muscle wasting. the hyperglycemic stress response.
protein-calorie malnutrition. - answer-bacterial and toxin translocation.
4.On hospital Day 5, a polytrauma patient has the following vital signs: BP 97/50; HR 133/min; RR
22/min. Urine output is 12 mL/hr. Skin is cool and mottled. The pulse oximeter is not sensing
dependably. These findings suggest an anaphylactic reaction. hemorrhagic hypovolemia. early
sepsis. neurogenic shock. - nswer-early sepsis.
5.A patient has a positive "seat belt sign" across the epigastrium. This patient is at greatest risk for
trauma to the colon, kidneys, and stomach.
duodenum, mesentery, and pancreas.
T-spine, urethra, and gallbladder.
spleen, pelvis, and bladder. - answer-duodenum, mesentery, and pancreas.
6.A construction worker crushed by a falling beam has compartment syndrome of the left thigh. This
patient will be closely monitored for signs of rhabdomyolysis, including dark-colored urine and
dropping urine output.
dilute urine and an elevated creatine kinase level.
increasing urine output and myoglobinemia. diminished urine output and hypokalemia. -
answer-dark-colored urine and dropping urine output.
7.Care of the trauma patient with prerenal failure chiefly involves ?
initiating hemodialysis.
limiting fluid intake.
refilling the vascular space.
administering diuretics.
- answer-refilling the vascular space.
