ATLS INITIAL ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT
QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED VERIFIED AND 100%
ACCURATE ANSWERS
prehospital phase Correct Answers During the _______, providers
emphasize airway maintenance, control of external bleeding and shock,
immobilization of the patient, and immediate transport to the closest
appropriate facility, preferably a verified trauma center
Multiple-casualty Correct Answers ______ incidents are those in which
the number of patients and the severity of their injuries do not exceed
the capability of the facility to render care. In such cases, patients with
life-threatening problems and those sustaining multiple-system injuries
are treated first.
Mass-casualty Correct Answers In ______ events, the number of
patients and the severity of their injuries does exceed the capability of
the facility and staff. In such cases, patients having the greatest chance
of survival and requiring the least expenditure of time, equipment,
supplies, and personnel are treated first`
Airway maintenance with restriction of cervical spine motion
Breathing and ventilation
Circulation with hemorrhage control
Disability(assessment of neurologic status)
Exposure/Environmental control Correct Answers List the primary
survey:
, identifying themselves, asking the patient for his or her name, and
asking what happened Correct Answers Clinicians can quickly assess A,
B, C, and D in a trauma patient (10-second assessment) by ________
clearing the airway, suctioning, administering oxygen, and opening and
securing the airway. Correct Answers Regardless of the injury causing
airway compromise, the first priority is airway management, this is
accomplished by:
8 Correct Answers In addition, patients with severe head injuries who
have an altered level of consciousness or a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)
score of ___ or lower usually require the placement of a definitive
airway (i.e., cuffed, secured tube in the trachea).
reevaluation Correct Answers Frequent ______ of airway patency is
essential to identify and treat patients who are losing the ability to
maintain an adequate airway.
neck and chest. Correct Answers To adequately assess jugular venous
distention, position of the trachea, and chest wall excursion, expose the
patient's _____
tension pneumothorax, massive hemothorax, open pneumothorax, and
tracheal or bronchial injuries Correct Answers Injuries that significantly
