GUIDE QUESTIONS
1 of 16
Definition
B, C, D
b.Anthrax
c.Botulism
d.Smallpox
There are vaccines available to protect patients against anthrax,
botulism, and smallpox. There are currently vaccines in development for
plague and tularemia, as well as a new one for botulism. There
are no vaccines for the viruses that cause hemorrhagic fever
Give this one a try later!
, 4. During the secondary survey of a trauma patient in the ED, why is it
important that the nurse obtain details of the incident?
a. The mechanism of injury can indicate specific injuries.
b. Important facts may be forgotten when needed later for legal actions.
c. Alcohol use associated with many accidents can affect treatment of injuries.
d. Many types of accidents or trauma must be reported to government agencies
20. The patient is admitted with severe acidosis from trying to commit
suicide by ingesting aspirin. What should be used to treat this patient?
a. Milk
b. Catha
rtics
c.Hemodialysis
d.Whole bowel irrigation
25.Which biologic agents of terrorism can be protected against with a
vaccine (select all that apply)?
a.Plague
b.Anthrax
c.Botulism
d.Smallpox
e.Tularemia
f.Hemorrhagic fever
21. For which of the following ingested poisons may gastric lavage be
considered (select all that apply)?a.Bleach
b. Aspirin
c. Drain cleaner
d. Iron supplements
e. Amitriptyline (Elavil)

c.Manage and maintain ABCs (airway, breathing, circulation).
Rigidness, bradycardia, and slowed respiratory rate are signs of moderate
hypothermia. The ABCs are the initial priority. Active core rewarming is indicated
for moderate to severe hypothermia. Axillary temperatures are inadequate to
monitor core temperature, so esophageal, rectal, or indwelling urinary catheter
thermometers are used. The patient should be assessed for other injuries but
should not be exposed, to prevent further loss of heat
d.The status of airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and
exposure/environmental control
During the primary survey of emergency care, assessment and immediate
interventions are made for life-threatening problems affecting airway, breathing,
circulation, disability, and exposure/environmental control. The triage system is
used initially to determine the priority of care for patients and history of the
illness or accident is part of the secondary survey. Any emergency
department should be able to stabilize and initially treat a patient who
requires specialized care before transferring to another facility if needed
