A 45-year-old male was stabbed in the left anterior chest. He is conscious, but restless. His skin is cool and clammy, his blood pressure is 90/60 mm Hg, his respirations are rapid and shallow, and his heart rate is 120 beats/min and weak. Further assessment reveals that his breath sounds are clear and equal bilaterally and his jugular veins are distended. In addition to giving him high-flow oxygen, you should:
A: cover the stab wound with an occlusive dressing, support ventilation as needed, and transport rapidly. B: control the bleeding from the stab wound with a sterile porous dressing and reassess his vital signs. C: suspect that the patient has a tension pneumothorax and notify the trauma center as soon as possible. D: perform a detailed physical exam at the scene to ensure that you locate and treat less obvious injuries.
