A 36-year-old woman is beaten about the head and face and is brought to the local community hospital
in full spinal immobilization. Her BP is 13088, HR 70/minutes, and RR 18/minute. Pulse oximetry
indicated 98% while she was given 100% O2 via a non rebreather mask. Her airway is clear. She has
marked swellings on her face and several lacerations of her scalp that are not actively bleeding. She
does not respond to verbal stimuli, but localizes to painful stiumuli and opens her eyes. She moves all
extremities equally. The remainder of her physical exam is normal. There is no neurosurgeon at the local
hospital. After ensuring the patient airway, the most appropriate course of action is to:
A. Admit the patient to the hospital for observation
B. Obtain x-ray of her facial bones prior to transfer
C. Obtain complete x-ray evaluation of the cervical spine
D. Transfer the patient to a neurosurgeon without performing a CT-sca
D. Transfer the patient to a neurosurgeon without performing a CT-scan
