,1. Which of the following is the primary concern in managing a
patient with a traumatic brain injury (TBI)?
- A) Controlling pain
- B) Preventing infection
- C) Reducing intracranial pressure (ICP)
- D) Administering antibiotics
- ANS: C
- Rationale: Reducing intracranial pressure (ICP) is crucial in
managing a traumatic brain injury (TBI) to prevent further brain
damage and ensure adequate cerebral perfusion.
2. What is the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) used to assess in
patients with brain trauma?
- A) Respiratory function
- B) Neurological status
- C) Circulatory status
- D) Pain level
- ANS: B

, - Rationale: The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) assesses
neurological status by evaluating eye opening, verbal response,
and motor response.
3. Which of the following signs indicates a basilar skull
fracture?
- A) Battle's sign
- B) Hypotension
- C) Bradycardia
- D) Hyperthermia
- ANS: A
- Rationale: Battle's sign, which is bruising behind the ears, is
indicative of a basilar skull fracture.
4. What is the primary goal of administering hypertonic saline in
patients with traumatic brain injury?
- A) To reduce pain
- B) To decrease intracranial pressure (ICP)
- C) To prevent infection
- D) To increase urine output
- ANS: B

, - Rationale: Administering hypertonic saline helps decrease
intracranial pressure (ICP) by drawing fluid out of the brain
tissue.
5. Which of the following interventions is appropriate for a
patient with a suspected epidural hematoma?
- A) Administering diuretics
- B) Performing a craniotomy
- C) Applying a cervical collar
- D) Elevating the legs
- ANS: B
- Rationale: Performing a craniotomy is necessary to
evacuate the hematoma and relieve pressure on the brain in
patients with an epidural hematoma.
6. What is the primary purpose of using a cervical collar in
patients with craniofacial trauma?
- A) To reduce pain
- B) To prevent further spinal injury
- C) To administer medications
- D) To monitor blood pressure
- ANS: B
