TPATC 2025 – Trauma Patient Assessment & Transport Course Study Guide, Key Concepts &
Practice Questions
A pilot declines a flight due to weather concerns. As a component of a safety management
system, this is an example of - ANS ✔✔
Which intervention should be anticipated to address compartment syndrome following a
traumatic injury to the lower extremities? - ANS ✔✔
Which of the following statements about burn injures to the lower respiratory tract is true? -
ANS ✔✔Injuries below the glottis are usually chemical
After administration of neuromuscular blockade, it is most important to protect a trauma
patient from which of the following? - ANS ✔✔
Which of the following findings indicates optimal resuscitation and restoration of end organ
perfusion? - ANS ✔✔Lactate level = 1.0 mmol/L
During a disaster response, an incident commander decides to move patients to collection
points prior to initiating treatment. For this system to be effective, patients in different triage
categories should be - ANS ✔✔
A 36-year-old woman who 32 weeks' pregnant sustains a fracture of the right tibia and fibula in
a motor vehicle crash. The patient reports pain in the area of the thoracic spine and right chest
wall. Which of the following is the optimal position for transport? - ANS ✔✔
A 45-year-old patient reports taking dabigatran (Pradaxa) for anticoagulation secondary to the
atrial fibrillation. The transport provider remembers that dabigatran is a direct thrombin
inhibitor and therefore, it - ANS ✔✔
