,1/23/2021 Elsevier Adaptive Quizzing - Quiz performance
Rationale
Hypoglycemia is a common metabolic cause of hypothermia. Seizure does not cause
hypothermia. Dehydration can cause hyperthermia. Hypothyroidism, not
hyperthyroidism, can lead to hypothermia.
Which emergency medical system (EMS) first responders can perform
triage during mass casualty incidents? Select all that apply.
Paramedics
Unlicensed assistive personnel
Nurses appointed to a field team
A physician who survives the incident
Community response team members
Rationale
Paramedics and nurses appointed to a field team are the EMS first responders who can
perform triage during a mass casualty incident. Unlicensed assistive personnel can
assist with providing client care in a hospital setting under the direction of a licensed
practitioner. A physician who survives the incident can assist with treatment; however,
this individual is not necessarily trained for triage. Community response team
members can assist first responders; however, these individuals are not trained for
triage.
A local emergency department (ED) recently implemented an automated
tracking system for triage during mass casualty incidents (MCIs). Which
items can the nurse track using this system? Select all that apply.
Some correct answers were not selected
Priority upon arrival
Clinical manifestations
https://eaqng.elsevier.com/#/quizPerformance/15536351 2/342
,1/23/2021 Elsevier Adaptive Quizzing - Quiz performance
Interaction with caregivers
Priority per process of care
Priority according to location
Rationale
Automated tracking systems using infrared and radiofrequency technology (RFT) are
available in some emergency departments to track a client's triage priority upon arrival,
location, and process of care. The interactions the client has with caregivers can also be
tracked; this is an important safety strategy if the client is later found to have
contaminants or a disease that could pose a risk to staff members who had close
contact and require decontamination or prophylaxis. Clinical manifestations cannot be
tracked using this system.
Test-Taking Tip: On a test day, eat a normal meal before going to school. If the test is
late in the morning, take a high-powered snack with you to eat 20 minutes before the
examination. The brain works best when it has the glucose necessary for cellular
function.
What is the function of the emergency department nurse leader?
Providing care for stable emergency department (ED) clients
Assisting in monitored care of the client
Transporting the clients to the critical care unit
Directing ancillary departments to deliver resources to meet service demands
Rationale
Directing ancillary departments to deliver resources to meet service demands is the
function of the ED nurse leader. General staff nurses provide care for stable ED clients.
They also supplement the ED nurses to assist in monitored care and transport to
critical care units.

What services can be provided by level II trauma care centers during
mass causality events?
Stabilize clients with major injuries.
Provide care to most injured clients.
Provide a full continuum of trauma services for all clients.
Provide basic trauma client stabilization and advanced life support.
Rationale
Level II trauma centers are community-based trauma centers that can provide most
trauma care to clients. Level III trauma centers can provide care up to the stabilization
of clients. A full continuum of trauma services for all clients is provided in Level I
trauma centers. Basic trauma client stabilization and advanced life support are
provided in Level IV trauma centers.
STUDY TIP: Study goals should set out exactly what you want to accomplish. Do not
simply say, "I will study for the exam." Specify how many hours, what day and time, and
what material you will cover.
Which psychosocial nursing actions are appropriate when providing
client care after a community disaster? Select all that apply.
Some correct answers were not selected
Performing triage of injuries
Administering first aid to wounds
Offering choices whenever possible
Establishing rapport through active listening
Requesting assistance from crisis counselors
