PRACTICE SOLUTION 2026 QUESTIONS
WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
>> Computed Tomography
Answer: A medical imaging technique that uses computer-processed
combinations of many X-ray measurements taken from different angles to
produce cross-sectional images of specific areas of a scanned object.
>> FAST
Answer: Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma, a standard tool
in trauma bays and Emergency Departments for evaluating trauma
patients.
>> Sensitivity of FAST in combat trauma
Answer: 56%.
>> Specificity of FAST in combat trauma
Answer: Not specified in the notes.
>> 18g IV
Answer: Typically desired for Computed Tomography IV access.
>> Acoustic Trauma
Answer: Injury to the ear caused by exposure to loud noise.
>> Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL)
Answer: A type of hearing loss that may be either temporary or permanent.
,>> Tympanic membrane perforation
Answer: A hole in the eardrum which can lead to hearing loss.
>> Distance for radiation safety
Answer: Recommended minimal distance for personnel without lead
shielding to move away from the x-ray unit.
>> Portable x-ray machine
Answer: A mobile device used to take X-ray images of patients.
>> Computed Tomography scanner
Answer: A medical device used to perform Computed Tomography scans.
>> Lead aprons and thyroid shields
Answer: Protective equipment used by trauma team members for radiation
safety.
>> FAST examination
Answer: An ultrasound examination performed to evaluate for the presence
of fluid in certain areas of the body.
>> Right upper quadrant inspection
Answer: Inspecting between the liver and the right kidney during a FAST
examination.
>> Left upper quadrant inspection
Answer: Inspecting between the spleen and the left kidney during a FAST
examination.
>> Acoustic trauma symptoms
,Answer: Not specified in the notes.
>> Primary blast injury
Answer: Injury caused by the blast wave from an explosion.
>> Intratemporal facial nerve injury management
Answer: To provide objective documentation of facial movement using a
specific scale.
>> Role 3
Answer: A level of medical care where trauma patients receive proper and
expeditious radiologic screening of injuries.
>> Cervical spine radiographic evaluation (CSRE)
Answer: A method of imaging the cervical spine that has largely replaced
Computed Tomography scanning.
>> Military Working Dog CT protocol
Answer: Utilize a scanning protocol based on adult settings including doses
and rates of contrast administration.
>> Images for casualty evacuation
Answer: All patients evacuated should have images sent electronically ahead
of time and a CD created as a backup.
>> Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Answer: A medical imaging technique that uses strong magnetic fields and
radio waves to generate images of organs in the body.
>> Tympanic membrane perforation closure
, Answer: The majority of perforations that close spontaneously do so within
the first specified time after injury.
>> Acute management of facial nerve injury
Answer: To provide objective documentation of facial movement using a
specific scale.
>> Significant facial pareses/paralyses
Answer: Early administration of steroids must always be provided
regardless of contraindications.
>> Inner ear abnormalities
Answer: May cause vertigo.
>> Symptoms consistent with noise trauma
Answer: Acute tinnitus, muffled hearing, fullness in the ear.
>> Debris in the external auditory canal or middle ear
Answer: Best course of action if found.
>> Hearing loss after acoustic trauma
Answer: That persists hours after warrants a hearing test or audiogram.
>> Vestibular trauma to the inner ear
Answer: May manifest in vertigo.
>> Subjective hearing loss and tinnitus following blast exposure
Answer: All patients should be evaluated.
>> TTS greater than losses in three consecutive frequencies
