airway, cervical spine
what does the "A" refer to - patent airway
in ABCDE - immobilize spine
**do NOT move patient
breathing
what does the "B" refer to
in ABCDE - assess sounds
- assess chest wall movement
circulation
what does the "C" refer to
- vitals (BP and pulse)
in ABCDE
- maintain vascular access
- stop any bleeding
what does the "D" refer to disability
in ABCDE *LOC
exposure
what does the "E" refer to
in ABCDE - get clothes off
- use blankets to prevent hypothermia
what is the one exception in excessive bleeding, you would prioritize "C" before
to ABCDE? "AB"

what can major severe dehydration and hyponatremia
diaphoresis cause?
if heat exhaustion goes heat stroke
untreated, what can it
cause?
-dehydration
what are the s/s of heat -decrease in blood volume
exhaustion -decrease in BP
-tachycardia
what is the first stop their physical activity and transfer to a cool place
intervention for a person
expected to have heat
exhaustion?
what is the quickest way to - remove clothing
reduce someone's - remove bed linen
temperature?
what interventions are - cold pack on the neck, chest, abdomen, and groin
there for cooling patients - soak in cool water
down?
when rehydrating Sports drink/oral hydration solution
someone with heat
exhaustion, should you
use water or a sports
drink/oral reydration
solution?
why is a sports drink plain water can worsen sodium deficits
better at rehydrating
patients with heat
exhaustion?
nursing care for patients - monitor vitals
hospitalized with heat - administer .9% NS in N/V is present
