ATLS TRAUMA MANAGEMENT ACTUAL EXAM 2025 |116 QUESTIONS
WITH ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
1. In a scenario where a pregnant patient is involved in a
traumatic accident, what immediate action should be
prioritized to ensure both maternal and fetal well-being
during resuscitation?
Administer high-flow oxygen to maintain oxygen
saturation above 95%.
Focus solely on fluid resuscitation without monitoring
oxygen levels. Delay resuscitation until the patient is
stabilized.
Use sedatives to calm the patient before assessing
injuries.
2. A 75-year-old patient with a history of chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) presents with rib
fractures after a fall. Considering the
functional changes in the pulmonary system, what management
strategy should be prioritized to prevent complications such
as pneumonia?
Encourage deep breathing exercises and use of
incentive spirometry.
Administer high-flow oxygen immediately.
, Limit fluid intake to prevent
pulmonary edema. Avoid any physical
activity to reduce pain.
3. In a scenario where a patient with an inhalation injury is
showing signs of respiratory distress, what would be the
most appropriate initial action to take?
Administer intravenous fluids immediately
Perform a bronchoscopy without airway management
Ensure the placement of an adequately sized airway tube
Start high-flow oxygen therapy without assessment
,4. The greatest risk factor for a fall in the elderly
population is: Diminished lighting
Poor eyesight
A personal history of a previous fall
Osteoporosis
5. Which of the following is NOT a functional change in
the pulmonary system associated with trauma in
elderly patients?
Decreased elastic recoil
Increased residual capacity
Decreased gas
exchange Decreased
cough reflex
6. Why is it difficult to make a good seal with a bag-valve mask
on a geriatric patient ?
Big nose
Reduction of alveolar surface area
Resorption of the mandible
Lower saliva production
7. NEXUS CRITERIA doesn't include
Normal mental
, status Not
intoxicated
Normal neurological examination
Tenderness to palpation of C spine
8. What is the recommended temperature to which fluids
should be warmed before infusion to prevent hypothermia?
