You have been performing ongoing management on a 35-year-old female patient who
sustained thoracic trauma when a car hit her as she crossed the street. Originally, your
electronic monitoring devices all produce results consistent with your patient's clinical
condition. However, en route to the trauma center, the monitors start to differ from
your patient's current clinical condition each time you reassess. How should you handle
this situation?
A. Treat the patient's condition, not the monitor results.
B. Continue to reassess the patient and record the results for the trauma center.
C. Treat your patient based on the test results.
D. Stop testing and wait until you arrive at the trauma center for them to perform an
assessment.

A trauma patient from the highway incident is holding her right arm, and you note a

what type of hemorrhage?
A. Capillary bleeding
B. Venous bleeding
C. Arterial bleeding
D. Road rash
B. Venous bleeding
During primary survey, you find the following:
LOC: alert and oriented; speaking in full sentences
GCS: 15
Airway: good air entry to bases
Breathing: bilateral
Circulation: skin warm, flushed, dry
Pulse rate: 112 bpm, strong and regular
BP: 90/42 mm Hg
Pain: Patient complains of severe pain at clavicle site and pain on inspiration at site
of possible fractured ribs. No other injuries detected.
What is your next step?
A. Apply a cervical collar and in-line immobilization device.
B. Treat for hypovolemic shock.
C. Apply an arm sling for the clavicle injury.
D. Administer pain medication.
