1.\Which\of\the\following\is\the\recommended\method\for\treating\frostbite?
A.\Vasodilators\\
B.\Warm\water\immersion\at\approximately\40°C\\
C.\Padding\and\elevation\only\\
D.\Application\of\heat\from\a\hairdryer\\
Answer:\B.\Warm\water\immersion\at\approximately\40°C\\
Rationale:\\
•\Rapid\rewarming\in\a\circulating\water\bath\at\37–
40°C\(approx.)\is\the\standard\of\care\for\frostbite\management.\\
•\Use\of\hairdryers\or\dry\heat\is\contraindicated\due\to\the\risk\of\uneven\heating\and\tissu
e\damage.\\

2.\Which\of\the\following\physical\findings\suggests\a\cause\of\hypotension\other\than\spin
al\cord\injury?
A.\Priapism\\
B.\Bradycardia\\
C.\Diaphragmatic\breathing\\
D.\Presence\of\deep\tendon\reflexes\\
Answer:\D.\Presence\of\deep\tendon\reflexes\\
,Rationale:\\
•\Spinal\shock\typically\presents\with\flaccidity\and\loss\of\reflexes\below\the\level\of\injury.\
\
•\Preserved\or\brisk\deep\tendon\reflexes\suggest\that\the\hypotension\is\not\solely\due\to\
spinal\cord\injury.\\

3.\The\primary\indication\for\transferring\a\patient\to\a\higher-level\trauma\center\is:
A.\Unavailability\of\a\surgeon\or\operating\staff\\
B.\Multiple\system\injuries\(including\severe\head\injury)\\
C.\Resource\limitations\as\determined\by\the\transferring\doctor\\
D.\Widened\mediastinum\on\chest\X-ray\after\blunt\trauma\\
Answer:\C.\Resource\limitations\as\determined\by\the\transferring\doctor\\
Rationale:\\
•\Transfer\is\indicated\when\the\current\facility\lacks\the\necessary\resources—
clinical\expertise,\specialist\availability,\or\equipment—to\manage\the\patient\effectively.\\
•\The\decision\rests\with\the\physician\responsible\for\the\patient’s\care,\based\on\local\ca
pabilities.\\

e\despite\rapid\infusion\of\warmed\crystalloid\fluids.\The\next\most\appropriate\step\is\to:
A.\Immediate\laparotomy\\
B.\Abdominal\CT\scan\\

D.\Diagnostic\peritoneal\lavage\(DPL)\\

A.\Pelvic\fracture\\
B.\Central\cord\syndrome\\
C.\Intracerebral\hemorrhage\\
D.\Bilateral\compartment\syndrome\\
Answer:\D.\Bilateral\compartment\syndrome\\
Rationale:\\
•\Prolonged\entrapment\can\lead\to\crush\injury\and\compartment\syndrome\in\the\lower\e
