CORRECTLY WELL DEFINED ANSWERS
LATEST ALREADY GRADED A+ 2025 – 2026
What is the lowest level of care equipped with a Computed
Tomography (CT) Scanner? - ANSWERS-Role 3
What is the lowest level of care equipped with a portable x-
ray machine? - ANSWERS-Role 2
Members of the trauma team should have __________
aprons and thyroid shields available near the trauma bay for
radiation safety. - ANSWERS-lead
Distance is also protective from radiation exposure. If
feasible based on the patient's condition, any personnel
without lead shielding should move a short distance away
,from the x-ray unit. The recommended minimal distance is
__________ feet. - ANSWERS-Six (6)
While the FAST scan has been validated only in
hemodynamically unstable blunt trauma patients, it has
become a standard tool in the trauma bay and Emergency
Department (ED) in most trauma patients. FAST stands for
__________. - ANSWERS-Focused Abdominal Sonographic
Assessment for Trauma
Section 1 - Radiology: Imaging Trauma Patients in a
Deployed Setting - ANSWERS--
The initial radiographic evaluation of a trauma patient
begins with supine Anterior-Posterior (AP) chest and pelvis
radiographs taken in the trauma bay usually with a(n)
__________. - ANSWERS-portable x-ray machine
T/F: Computed Tomography scanning has been largely
replaced by Cervical Spine Radiographic Evaluation (CSRE)
and should only be performed when CSRE is unavailable. -
ANSWERS-FALSE. Cervical Spine Radiographic Evaluation
(CSRE) has been largely replaced by Computed Tomography
(CT) and should only be performed when a CT is
unavailable.
,FAST in combat trauma has a sensitivity of only 56% and and
specificity of __________. - ANSWERS-98%
T/F: The FAST exam remains the most sensitive test for
hollow viscus injury and mesenteric injury. - ANSWERS-
FALSE. Diagnostic Peritoneal Lavage (DPL) remains the most
sensitive test for hollow viscus injury and mesenteric injury.
T/F: At the Role 3, properly trained providers including
radiologists, surgeons, and emergency physicians, can
perform and interpret FAST scans in the emergency
department on a hand held portable US device. - ANSWERS-
TRUE
A FAST examination is performed with a portable hand-held
machine most commonly using a standard 3-7 MHz curved
array __________ probe. - ANSWERS-Ultra Sound (US)
The standard FAST examination is focused on evaluating for
the presence of __________ in certain areas of the body. -
ANSWERS-Free Intraperitoneal Fluid
, When performing a FAST examination on a patient, you
inspect the right upper quadrant. You are inspecting
between which two (2) organs? - ANSWERS-Liver & Kidney
When performing a FAST examination on a patient, you
inspect the left upper quadrant. You are inspecting between
which two (2) organs? - ANSWERS-Spleen & Kidney
An 18g __________ IV is typically desired for Computed
Tomography IV access. - ANSWERS-antecubital
T/F: The goal of Computed Tomography (CT) contrast
injection is to provide concurrent solid organ enhancement,
arterial enhancement, and pulmonary arterial. - ANSWERS-
TRUE
T/F: When performing Computed Tomography (CT) scan on a
Military Working Dog, utilize a scanning protocol based on
the adult settings to include the doses of and rates of
contrast administration. - ANSWERS-FALSE. Utilize a
scanning protocol based on the pediatric settings to include
the doses of and rates of contrast administration.
