TCAR-POST TEST REAL EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH VERIFIED AND CORRECT ANSWERS|
ALREADY GRADED A|2024
Helmets and automobile airbags work because they
prevent blows to the head.
reduce acceleration injuries.
increase deceleration speed.
add deceleration distance. Correct Answer reduce acceleration injuries.
A multisystem trauma patient has become progressively tachycardic and
hypotensive one week after hospital admission. Pulse pressure is wide. The
most likely explanation for this finding is
dehydration.
fat embolism syndrome.
surgical site bleeding.
sepsis. Correct Answer sepsis.
Normalizing a trauma patient's body temperature helps control bleeding
because hypothermia
produces shivering and makes platelets hyperactive.
causes platelet dysfunction and clotting system failure.
stimulates the clotting cascade and reduces blood pressure.
increases tissue oxygen consumption and cold diuresis. Correct Answer
causes platelet dysfunction and clotting system failure.
What are the 3 components of the "trauma triad of death"?
Coagulopathy, hypothermia, and acidosis
Hypothermia, alkalosis, and coagulopathy
, Alkalosis, hyperthermia, and tissue injury
Tissue injury, hyperthermia, and acidosis Correct Answer Coagulopathy,
hypothermia, and acidosis
Compensatory responses to hypovolemic shock include
vasoconstriction, tachycardia, and oliguria.
immune system activation, water retention, and bradycardia.
tachycardia, diuresis, and hypoglycemia.
fluid shifts, histamine release, and increased urine output. Correct Answer
vasoconstriction, tachycardia, and oliguria.
What four factors determine a patient's cardiac output?
Pulse pressure, afterload, shock index, and blood pressure
Heart rate, preload, contractility, and afterload
Preload, mean pressure, heart rate, and central venous pressure
Contractility, systolic pressure, shock index, and pulse pressure Correct
Answer Heart rate, preload, contractility, and afterload
Trauma resuscitation is considered complete when hemorrhage is controlled,
the patient has normal vital signs, and
body temperature has been stabilized.
hemoglobin level is greater than 8 g/dL.
aerobic metabolism is reestablished.
the Glasgow Coma Scale score exceeds 13. Correct Answer aerobic
metabolism is reestablished.
A patient with posterior rib fractures is at the highest risk for concomitant
fractures of the
