, 1. Q: A transcranial doppler is obtained for a patient with a traumatic
subarachnoid hemorrhage. The doppler is positive for vasospasm.
The trauma nurse would expect which of the following medications to
be prescribed?
A: A vasospasm is a known complication of subarachnoid
hemorrhages. Calcium channel blockers are used to prevent or
reverse vasospasms and are frequently used in the treatment of a
subarachnoid hemorrhage. Metoprolol, Hydralazine, and Lisinopril
are not calcium channel blockers and would not be effective in
preventing and treating vasospasms caused by a subarachnoid
hemorrhage.
2. Q: Which chamber of the heart is most likely to be affected in blunt
cardiac injuries?
A: Given the anatomical position of the heart in the chest, the right
ventricle is most exposed to the anterior portion of the chest wall and
is most likely to be injured in a blunt cardiac injury. Signs of right
ventricular failure are common in these injuries.
3. Q: A widened mediastinum is noted on the chest x-ray of a
traumatically injured hypotensive patient. The trauma nurse would
anticipate gathering which of the following pieces of equipment as
the highest priority in this scenario?
A: A widened mediastinum on chest x-ray, accompanied by
hypotension, is strongly indicative of an aortic injury. The highest
priority is to give blood products via a rapid transfuser.
4. Q: A properly applied pelvic binder sits across the:
A: A properly applied pelvic binder is applied across the greater
trochanters of the femur to control bleeding from pelvic fractures.
5. Q: Treatment for an extraperitoneal bladder rupture will most likely
include:
A: Management involves urinary catheterization (urethral or
suprapubic) to facilitate urinary drainage from the bladder and does
not require emergent surgical repair.
