2. Out of the following physical findings, which one does not point to spinal cord injury as
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n


the cause of hypotension?
n n n n




A. Priapism
B. Bradycardia
C. Breathing through the diaphragm n n n


D. Deep tendon reflexes are present. n n n n




D. Deep tendon reflexes are present.
n n n n n




Justification:
• Below the site of damage, spinal shock usually manifests as flaccidity and loss of
n n n n n n n n n n n n n


reflexes.
• Deep tendon reflexes that are preserved or brisk indicate that spinal cord damage is not
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n


the exclusive cause of the hypotension.

3. Transferring a patient to a higher-level trauma center is primarily indicated by: n n n n n n n n n n n




A. Lack of a surgeon or other operating personnel
n n n n n n n


B. injuries to several systems, including a serious head injury
n n n n n n n n


C. restrictions on resources as established by the transferring physician n n n n n n n n


D. X-ray of the chest showing widened mediastinum following traumatic trauma
n n n n n n n n n




n Answer: C. The transferring physician's assessment of resource constraints
n n n n n n n n

,Justification:
• A transfer is recommended when the existing facility is unable to adequately manage the
n n n n n n n n n n n n n


patient due to a lack of equipment, clinical experience, or specialist availability.

4. A young man was shot in the middle of his abdomen. His systolic blood pressure is 58
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n


mmHg when he comes, and even after receiving heated crystalloid fluids quickly, his
n n n n n n n n n n n n n


condition does not get better. The next best course of action is to:
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




A. Prompt laparotomy n


B. CT scan of the abdomen
n n n n


C. Ultrasonography of the abdomen (FAST) n n n n


D. Peritoneal lavage for diagnostic purposes (DPL) n n n n n




n Response: A. Prompt laparotomy n n n




Justification:

• Surgically controlling bleeding is the top goal when there is penetrating abdominal
n n n n n n n n n n n


injuries and ongoing hypotension.

being awake at first, he is now asleep and unable to move his lower limbs, not even in
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n


response to painful stimuli. This lower-extremity finding's most likely cause is:
n n n n n n n n n n n




A. fracture of the pelvis n n n


B. Syndrome of the central cord n n n n


C. Hemorrhage inside the brain n n n


D. Syndrome of the bilateral compartment n n n n




D. Bilateral compartment syndrome is the response.
n n n n n n




Justification:
• Crush injuries and compartment syndrome in the lower extremities can result from
n n n n n n n n n n n


prolonged entrapment. n


• Increased compartment pressures and impaired tissue perfusion can account for both legs'
n n n n n n n n n n n


ongoing neurological impairments and lack of mobility.

n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




A. Cannulation of the femoral vein percutaneously n n n n n


B. Access through the proximal tibian n n n


C. The upper extremities' percutaneous peripheral vein

D. Central venous entry through the internal jugular vein or subclavia
n n n n n n n n n




Answer: C. Upper extremity percutaneous peripheral vein
n n n n n n




Justification:
n


• If possible, peripheral intravenous (IV) access is typically the quickest and safest for
