DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS;
ALREADY GRADED A; 2026
- correct answer- epidural hematoma
- Administer IV fluids
-Administer Sodium Bicarb
-Close monitoring of renal perfusion/health (rhabdo)
-Close monitoring of compartment syndrome -
correct answer- The management of a crush
injury
-Acidosis
- Hypothermia
- Coagulopathy (blood can't clot resulting in continued
bleeding) - correct answer- triad of death
-assess pulses, color, temperature, and sensation o the
extremity distal to the injury before and after splinting
,-stabilize the joint proximal and distal to the fracture site
- correct answer- The basic principles of
applying splints to extremity fractures include
-His pulse pressure will narrow
-He will be tachycardic - correct answer- A
previously healthy 70-kg man suffers an estimated blood
loss of 1 liter. What applies to this patient:
-remove damp clothing
-warm fluids orally if pt can drink
-placing the injured extremity in warm circulating water at
40 C - correct answer- Management of
Frostbite
-uterine tenderness or rigidity
-abdominal pain or cramping
-easy palpation of fetal parts - correct answer-
What signs and symptoms indicate possible uterine
rupture?
, >20 sustained - correct answer- What ICP
warrants physician notification?
0-10 mmHg - correct answer- Normal ICP at
rest
0-total paralysis
1-palpable of visible contraction
2-active movement with full ROM against gravity
3-active movement with full ROM against gravity AND
some resistance
4-active movement, full ROM against gravity and
Moderate resistance
5-normal active movement, full ROM against gravity and
resistance - correct answer- muscle function
test results
1- No difficulty
2- No difficulty but less of an opening
3- Moderate difficulty, only base of uvula visible
