✅ BATCH 1 – 50 CONTINUOUS MCQs WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS & RATIONALES
1. A 28-year-old male presents after a high-speed MVC. He is tachycardic (HR 128), BP 104/68,
cool and diaphoretic. FAST is negative. Lactate is 5 mmol/L. What is the MOST likely
explanation for his condition?
A. Cardiogenic shock
B. Early compensated hemorrhagic shock
C. Neurogenic shock
D. Septic shock
Answer: B. Early compensated hemorrhagic shock
Rationale: Tachycardia and elevated lactate indicate tissue hypoperfusion despite near-normal
BP. A negative FAST does not exclude retroperitoneal bleeding.
2. During damage control resuscitation, which ratio of blood products most closely
approximates whole blood?
A. 4:1:1
B. 2:1:1
C. 1:1:1
D. 1:2:1
,Page 3 of 132
Answer: C. 1:1:1
Rationale: Equal ratios of PRBCs, plasma, and platelets reduce trauma-induced coagulopathy.
3. A patient with severe TBI has ICP 25 mmHg and MAP 80 mmHg. What is the CPP?
A. 45
B. 55
C. 60
D. 105
Answer: B. 55
Rationale: CPP = MAP – ICP → 80 – 25 = 55 mmHg. Goal is generally ≥60 mmHg.
4. Which finding suggests tension pneumothorax rather than simple pneumothorax?
A. Decreased breath sounds
B. Hypoxia
C. Hypotension with tracheal deviation
D. Chest pain
Answer: C
Rationale: Hemodynamic instability distinguishes tension pneumothorax.

5. A pelvic fracture patient becomes hypotensive despite 2L crystalloids. Next best step?
A. CT scan
B. Pelvic binder
C. Vasopressors
D. Intubation
Answer: B. Pelvic binder
Rationale: Stabilizing pelvis reduces bleeding volume.
6. Trauma-induced coagulopathy is worsened by:
A. Normothermia
B. Acidosis
C. Early transfusion
D. Platelets
Answer: B. Acidosis
Rationale: Acidosis impairs clotting factor function.
