TNCC EXAM ALREADY PASSED
What is the key to a high performing trauma team? - ✔✔✔Consistent communication
(Communication, cooperation, and coordination are the foundations of successful teamwork in trauma
care p.6)
When obtaining a history for an injured patient, determining energy transfer through biomechanical
data helps the nurse to: - ✔✔✔Anticipate the types of injury that may be present (Mechanism of injury
and energy transfer can help predict potential injuries and injury patterns p.29)
The major preventable cause of death in trauma patient is: - ✔✔✔Uncontrolled hemorrhage.
(Uncontrolled hemorrhage is the major cause of preventable death after injury, so assessment to
identify uncontrolled hemorrhage is key to the initial assessment process. p.40)
The across-the-room observation step in the initial assessment provides the opportunity to: - ✔✔✔
Reprioritize ciculation before airway or breathing (The accross the room observation is done at the
beginning of th eprimary survey to rapidy assess the need ot reprioritize ciculation before airway or
breathing. This is done if uncontrolled external hemorrhage is identified. p.40)
Which of the following accurately describes ventilation principles associated with a bag-mask device? -
✔✔✔Ventilate at a rate of 10-12 breaths/min
(When patient ventilation is ineffective, the best intervention is to assist ventilations at 10-12
breaths/min or one every 5-6 seconds. p.44)
Which of the following is the best measure of the adequacy of cellular perfusion and helps to predict the
outcome of resuscitation? - ✔✔✔Base deficit
(Base deficit serves as an endpoint measurement of the adequacy of cellular perfusion and predicts the
success of the resuscitation)
According to the WHO pain relief ladder, adjuvant medications are: - ✔✔✔Treatment for symptoms
associated with pain
