What are the greatest risks for transport? - answer Loss of airway patency, displaced obstructive tubes lines or catheters, dislodge splinting devices, need to replace or reinforce dressings, deterioration in patient status change in vital signs or level of consciousness, injury to the patient and/or team members According to newtons law which of these two force is greater: size or force? - answer Neither. For each force there is an equal and opposite reaction. What is the relationship b...

The trauma nurse knows that placing a bariatric patient in a "ramped position" provides better visualization during the insertion of which device?ANSWER -endotracheal tube Tearing of the bridging veins is most frequently associated with which brain injury?ANSWER -subdural hematoma A patient is found lying on the floor after falling 13 hours ago. Which of the following laboratory values is expected with a musculoskeletal complication associated with this presentation?ANSWER -Elevated crea...

What is the relationship between mass and velocity to kinetic energy? - ANSWER -Kinetic energy is equal to 1/2 the mass multiplied the square of its velocity therefore when mass is doubled so is the net energy, however, when velocity is doubled energy is quadrupled. What is tension? - ANSWER -stretching force by pulling at opposite ends What is compression? - ANSWER -Crushing by squeezing together What is bending? - ANSWER -Loading about an axis. Bending causes compression on the side t...

Why is a measure of serum lactate obtained in the initial assessment of the trauma patient? Answer: c - ANSWER-a) to measure oxygenation and ventilation b) to quantify the base deficit for the adequacy of cellular perfusion c) *to gauge end-organ perfusion and tissue hypoxia ** d) to determine the underlying cause of shock A trauma patient is restless and repeatedly asking "where am I?" vital signs upon arrival were BP 100/60 mm Hg, HR 96 beats/min, and RR 24 breaths/min. Her skin is c...
