A 30-week pregnant trauma normal vital signs in pregnancy
patient's vital signs include a
blood pressure of 94/62 mm rationale: in pregnancy, the resting heart rate increases by 10 to
Hg and a heart rate of 108 20 bpm and a small decrease in systolic blood pressure and a
beats/minute. Fetal heart tones larger decrease in diastolic blood pressure due to a decrease
are 124 beats/minute. The in peripheral resistance. Normal fetal rate is between 120 and
emergency nurse interprets the 160 bpm
patient's hemodynamic findings
as an indication of which of the
following?
, reprioritize circulation before airway or breathing
the across-the-room
observation step in the initial rationale: the across-the-room observation is done at the
assessment provides the beginning of the primary survey to rapidly assess the need to
opportunity to reprioritize circulation before airway or breathing. This is done if
uncontrolled external hemorrhage is identified.
Based on proper bleeding initiate direct pressure
control techniques, what is the
first step to stop the bleeding rationale: the first step in controlling any bleeding is direct
of a penetrating injury to the pressure. if that is not adequate, the application of a tourniquet
lower extremity? may be needed
Following a bomb explosion, secondary
fragmentation injuries from the
bomb or objects in the rationale: the secondary phase of a blast results from flying
enviroment are examples of debris, projectiles, and bomb fragments causing lacerations or
which phase of injury? penetrating injuries
cerebral vasoconstriction
In a patient with severe
traumatic brain injury,
rationale: hypocapnia, or low levels of carbon dioxide, will
hypocapnia causes:
cause vasoconstriction, especially in the cerebra; vasculature
