A 40-year-old woman who was a restrained driver in a motor
vehicle crash is evaluated in the emergency department. She is
hemodynamically normal and found to be paraplegic at the
level of T10. Which of the following are true regarding her
evaluation and management? - correct answer-Log rolling
using 4 people is a safe approach to restrict spinal motion when
moving her.
A trauma patient presents to your emergency department with
inspiratory stridor and a suspected c-spine injury. Oxygen
saturation is 88% on high-flow oxygen via a nonrebreathing
mask. The most appropriate next step is to: - correct answer-
restrict cervical motion and establish a definitive airway
When applying the Rule of Nines to infants: - correct answer-
The head is proportionally larger in infants than in adults.

A healthy young male is brought to the emergency department
following a motor vehicle crash. His vital signs are a blood

A 22-year-old man is hypotensive and tachycardic after a
shotgun wound to the left shoulder. His blood pressure is
initially 80/40 mm Hg. After initial fluid resuscitation his blood
pressure increases to 122/84 mm Hg. His heart rate is now 100
beats per minute and his respiratory rate is 28 breaths per
minute. A tube thoracostomy is performed for decreased left
chest breath sounds with the return of a small amount of blood
and no air leak. After chest tube insertion, the most appropriate
next step is: - correct answer-re-examine the chest
A construction worker falls two stories from a building and
sustains bilateral calcaneal fractures. In the emergency
department, he is alert, vital signs are normal, and he is
complaining of severe pain in both heels and his lower back.
Lower extremity pulses are strong and there is no other
deformity. The suspected diagnosis is most likely to be
confirmed by: - correct answer-complete spine x-ray series
Which of the following is true regarding the initial resuscitation
of a trauma patient? - correct answer-Evidence of improved
