Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 36
Compartment Syndrome
CORRECT ANSWER
6 P's: Pain (unrelieved), Pallor, Pulselessness, Paresthesia, Paralysis, Pressure
RATIONALE
Compartment syndrome is a surgical emergency characterized by increased pressure within a
fascial compartment, leading to compromised blood flow and tissue damage. The classic signs,
often remembered by the "6 P's," include pain disproportionate to the injury, pallor, pulselessness,
paresthesia, and paralysis.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 36
Compartment Syndrome Management
CORRECT ANSWER
DO NOT: elevate above heart, apply ice; DO: notify provider immediately, loosen cast/dressing
RATIONALE
Compartment syndrome is a serious condition where increased pressure within a muscle
compartment compromises blood flow. Elevating the limb above the heart can further impair
circulation by reducing arterial inflow, and applying ice can vasoconstrict blood vessels,
exacerbating ischemia.
Q3 QUESTION 3 OF 36

CORRECT ANSWER
Weights hang freely, never on floor; Maintain straight alignment; Pin care daily; Neurovascular
