head trauma has been intubated and is being manually ventilated via a bag-mask
device at a rate of 18 breaths/minute. The patient has received one intravenous fluid
bolus of 500 mL of warmed isotonic crystalloid solution. The PaCO2 is 30 mm Hg (4.0
kPa), and the pulse oximetry is 92%. BP is 142/70 mm Hg. What is the most important
intervention to manage the cerebral blood flow?

year-old child presents to the emergency department with bruises to the upper arms

with a lumbar fracture?
A.Reverse Trendelenburg
B.Supine
C.Prone
D.Fowler's

law enforcement, mandatory reporting, psychosocial support, social services, splinting,
tetanus, and wound care are all interventions that you do AFTER and before WHAT?
all patients - ansFor whom is capnography highly recommended?
Apply a pelvic binder - ansAn adult pedestrian was struck on the right side by a sport
utility vehicle traveling at 40 mph. The patient is awake and alert and the right leg is
shortened. Following initial resuscitation with fluids, the patient remains hypotensive.
What would be the priority intervention?
