patient inspected for obvious injuries?
glucose - ✔✔✔In Step 13 of "Disability", what is assessed if pt is altered?
1. inspect AND palpate skin color, temp, moisture and 2. palpate a pulse - ✔✔✔To assess circulation,
you must do these two main tasks:
intervene as appropriate and reassess - ✔✔✔What do you do when alterations are identified in any of
the steps in the primary survery?
1. attach CO2 detector and assess for evidence of exhaled CO2; 2. observe for rise and fall of the chest
w/ assisted ventilations; 3. auscultate over epigastrium for gurgling AND lungs for bilateral breath
sounds - ✔✔✔What three assessments must be done if the patient is intubated?
Breath sounds, depth/pattern/rate, spontaneous breathing, subcutaneous emphysema, increased work
of breathing, symmetrical chest rise and fall, tracheal deviation/JVD, open wounds/deformities, skin
color - ✔✔✔Four of these must be identified to assess breathing effectiveness:

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

Hg. What is the most important intervention to manage the cerebral blood flow?
