The trauma nurse knows that placing a bariatric patient in a "ramped position" provides better visualization during the insertion of which device? - ansendotracheal tube Tearing of the bridging veins is most frequently associated with which brain injury? - anssubdural hematoma A patient is found lying on the floor after falling 13 hours ago. Which of the following laboratory values is expected with a musculoskeletal complication associated with this presentation? - ansElevated creatine k...

TNCC 9th Edition TNP just keep evaluatng - vipp - ansWhat does the J stand for at the end of the secondary survery? vital signs, injuries/interventions, primary survey, pain - ansWhat does VIPP stand for? flank - ansDuring the head-to-toe, where would you find Grey-Turner's sign? umbilicus - ansDuring the head-to-toe, where would you find Cullen's sign? inspecting posterior - ansWhat is sometimes deferred at the end of the head-to-toe? AFTER head-to-toe, BEFORE J (VIPP) - ansAntibiotics,...

Effective communication •Skilled communication, cooperation, and coordination are the cornerstones of high- performance teams and high-quality trauma care - ansWhat is the key to a high-performance trauma team? Reprioritize circulation before airway or breathing. •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...

1.What is the effect of hypothermia on the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve - ansHemoglobin does not readily release oxygen for use by the tissues A shift to the left occurs in an environment of low metabolic demand (hypothermia, hypocapnia, alkalosis), increasing hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen. EMS arrives with the intoxicated driver of a car involved in a motor vehicle crash. EMS reports significant damage to the driver's side of the car. The patient is asking to have the cervical co...

Primary concern when a person cannot stop coughing/clearing their throat following house fire/smoke? - ansAirway/Intubate Lab evidence of cellular perfusion - ansBase Excess (Less than -6 is BAD) Multiple people are in the ER of different ages who all go to the same church. They all have the same symptoms. What is the most likely cause? - ansBiologic Suspected shock type with a spinal cord injury - ansDistributive Shock (Includes neurogenic) Patient has GCS of 3, unequal pupils (one sluggi...

Why is a measure of serum lactate obtained in the initial assessment of the trauma patient? Answer: c - --a) to measure oxygenation and ventilation b) to quantify the base deficit for the adequacy of cellular perfusion c) *to gauge end-organ perfusion and tissue hypoxia ** d) to determine the underlying cause of shock A trauma patient is restless and repeatedly asking "where am I?" vital signs upon arrival were BP 100/60 mm Hg, HR 96 beats/min, and RR 24 breaths/min. Her skin is cool and...

What is kinematics? - ansA branch of mechanics (energy transfer) that refers to motion and does not consider the concepts of force and mass of the object or body. What is Newton's First Law? - ansA body at rest will remain at rest. A body in motion will remain in motion until acted on by an outside force. What is the Law of Conservation of Energy? - ansEnergy can neither be created nor destroyed. It is only changed from one form to another. What is Newton's Second Law? - ansForce equals ...

what is the key to high performance trauma team? - anseffective communication 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 what? - ansevaluating and anticipating the types of injury that may be present MOI and energy tra...

What is the key to a high performing trauma team? - anseffective 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: - ansevaluating and anticipating the types of injuries that may be present rational...

what is the key to a high-performance trauma team? A. Individual goals B. Use of TeamSTEPPS C. Identification of a single decision maker D. Effective communication - ansD. Effective communication 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: A. Evaluating and anticipating the types of injury that may be present B. Deciding whether law enforceme...
