TNCC Practice Exam with Rationale
(2025) | 100+ Questions, Answers & Study
Guide
What is the key to a high performing trauma team? - ---✔✔✔ANSWER----
effective communication
rationale: skilled communication, cooperation, and coordination are the
cornerstones of high-performance teams and high-quality trauma care
When obtaining a history for an injured patient, understanding the kinematic
concepts associated with the mechanism of injury and energy transfer can initially
assist the trauma provider in: - ---✔✔✔ANSWER----evaluating and
anticipating the types of injuries that may be present
rationale: mechanism of injury and energy transfer can assist the provider in
evaluating and anticipating damage
, the major preventable cause of death in the trauma patient is: - ---
✔✔✔ANSWER----uncontrolled hemorrhage
rationale: uncontrolled hemorrhage is the major cause of preventable death after
injury, so assessment to identify uncontrolled hemorrhage is key to the initial
assessment process
the across-the-room observation step in the initial assessment provides the
opportunity to - ---✔✔✔ANSWER----reprioritize circulation before airway
or breathing
rationale: the across-the-room observation is done at the beginning of the primary
survey to rapidly assess the need to reprioritize circulation before airway or
breathing. This is done if uncontrolled external hemorrhage is identified.
Which of the following accurately describes ventilation prinicples associated with
a bag-mask device? - ---✔✔✔ANSWER----ventilate at a rate of 10-12
breaths/minute
rationale: if ventilation is ineffective, assist ventilation at 10-12 breaths/minute or
one every 5-6 seconds
Which of the following is the best measure of the adequacy of cellular perfusion
and helps to predict the outcome of resuscitation? - ---✔✔✔ANSWER----
base deficit
