300 Exam-Style Questions with Verified Answers
and Rationales
Q1. The trauma nurse is performing the primary survey on a patient involved in a motor
vehicle collision. Which assessment should be performed first?
A A. Assess for airway patency
B B. Assess breathing and ventilation
C C. Assess circulation and hemorrhage control
D D. Assess for disability and neurologic status
Correct Answer: A. Assess for airway patency
Rationale: The primary survey follows the ABCDE approach: Airway, Breathing, Circulation,
Disability, and Exposure. Airway assessment is always the first priority. A patent airway is
essential for oxygenation and ventilation. The trauma nurse must ensure airway patency
before proceeding to breathing and circulation.
Why Wrong:
A. A is correct. B: Breathing is second. C: Circulation is third. D: Disability is fourth.

Course Guidelines 2026-2027; Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) 10th Edition.
Q2. A patient is brought to the emergency department after a penetrating chest injury.
The trauma nurse notes absent breath sounds on the left side and tracheal deviation to
the right. Which condition should the nurse suspect?
A A. Tension pneumothorax
B B. Open pneumothorax
C C. Hemothorax
D D. Cardiac tamponade
Correct Answer: A. Tension pneumothorax
, Rationale: Absent breath sounds on the affected side with tracheal deviation to the
contralateral side is the classic presentation of a tension pneumothorax. This is a life-
threatening condition that requires immediate needle decompression. Open pneumothorax
may have a sucking chest wound, and cardiac tamponade presents with muffled heart
sounds and hypotension.
Why Wrong:
A. A is correct. B: Open pneumothorax has a sucking wound. C: Hemothorax has dullness
to percussion. D: Cardiac tamponade has muffled heart sounds.

Course Guidelines 2026-2027; Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) 10th Edition.
Q3. The trauma nurse is assessing a patient who is hypotensive and has distended neck
veins. Which condition should the nurse suspect?
A A. Tension pneumothorax
B B. Cardiac tamponade
C C. Hemorrhagic shock
D D. Neurogenic shock
Correct Answer: B. Cardiac tamponade
Rationale: Hypotension with distended neck veins is characteristic of cardiac tamponade.
The Beck triad for cardiac tamponade includes hypotension, distended neck veins, and
muffled heart sounds. Tension pneumothorax also presents with tracheal deviation, and
hemorrhagic shock typically has flat neck veins. Neurogenic shock presents with
hypotension and bradycardia.
Why Wrong:
A. A: Tension pneumothorax has tracheal deviation. B is correct. C: Hemorrhagic shock
has flat neck veins. D: Neurogenic shock has bradycardia.

Q4. During the primary survey, the trauma nurse notes that the patient is confused and
agitated. Which component of the primary survey does this finding address?
A A. Airway
B B. Breathing
C C. Circulation
D D. Disability
