SCENARIOUse this scenario to answer the following question(s).A 53-year-old male patient has cut his leg with a chain saw. His airway is patent, he is breathing 18 times per minute with good tidal volume, and supplemental oxygen has been applied. Bleeding has been controlled with a tourniquet, and the patient is pale, diaphoretic, and anxious. Due to the patient's extensive blood loss, you should expect to:
A. gather a detailed medical history. B. perform a reassessment. C. treat the patient for shock. D. question bystanders.
Temperature sensors in the body are concentrated in the
A) cerebral cortex B) thalamus C) brain stem D) hypothalamus
You arrive on the scene of a two-car motor vehicle collision. The patient was the unrestrained driver of a car that struck another from behind at 25 mph. In the course of the collision, the patient flew forward and struck the windshield with his head. No air bags were deployed. The patient extricated himself and denies head, neck, or back pain; however, you do note a small cut on his hand, which
occurred as he was getting out of the car. When asked about preexisting medical problems he tells you that he did have herniated disks in his lumbar spine that were surgically repaired several years ago. Based on this, your strongest reason to fully immobilize this patient would be: A) history of back surgery. B) laceration to the hand. C) self-extrication of the patient. D) mechanism of injury.
