T.N.C.C. correct answers ...
What is kinetic energy (KE)?
... [Show More] correct answers KE equals 1/2 the mass (M) multiplied by the velocity squared.
What is the Mnemonic for the Initial Assessment? correct answers A = Airway with simultaneous cervical spine protection
B = Breathing
C = Circulation
D = Disability (neurologic status)
E = Expose/Environmental controls (remove clothing and keep the patient warm)
What is the Mnemonic for the Secondary Assessment? correct answers F = Full set of VS/Focused adjuncts (includes cardiac monitor, urinary catheter, and gastric tube)/Family presence
G = Give comfort measures (verbal reassurance, touch, and pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic management of pain).
H = Hx and Head-to-toe assessment
I = Inspect posterior surfaces
Where do you listen to auscultate breath sounds? correct answers Auscultate the lungs bilaterally at the second intercostal space midclavicular line and at the fifth intercostal space at the anterior axillary line.
What are the late signs of breathing compromise? correct answers - Tracheal deviation
- JVD
What are signs of ineffective breathing? correct answers - AMS
- Cyanosis, especially around the mouth
- Asymmetric expansion of chest wall
- Paradoxical movement of the chest wall during inspiration and expiration
- Use of accessory muscles or abdominal muscles or both or diaphragmatic breathing
- Sucking chest wounds
- Absent or diminished breath sounds
- Administer O2 via NRB or assist ventilations with a bag-mask device, as indicated
- Anticipate definitive airway management to support ventilation.
Upon initial assessment, what type of oxygen should be used for a pt breathing effectively? correct answers A tight-fitting nonrebreather mask at 12-15 lpm.
What intervention should be done if a pt presents with effective circulation? correct answers - Insert 2 large caliber IV's
- Administer warmed isotonic crystalloid solution at an appropriate rate
What are signs of ineffective circulation? correct answers - Tachycardia
- AMS
- Uncontrolled external bleeding
- Pale, cool, moist skin
- Distended or abnormally flattened external jugular veins
- Distant heart sounds
What are the interventions for Effective/Ineffective Circulation? correct answers - Control any uncontrolled external bleeding by:
- Applying direct pressure over bleeding site
- Elevating bleeding extremity
- Applying pressure over arterial pressure points
- Using tourniquet (last resort).
- Cannulate 2 large-caliber IV's and initiate infusions of an isotonic crystalloid solution
- Use warmed solution
- Use pressure bags to increase speed of IVF infusion
- Use blood administration tubing for possible administration of blood
- Use rapid infusion device based on protocol
- Use NS 0.9% in same tubing as blood product
- IV = surgical cut-down, central line, or both.
- Blood sample to determine ABO and Rh group
- IO in sternum, legs, arms or pelvis
- Administer blood products
- PASG (without interfering with fluid resuscitation)
How do you assess Mnemonic "D"? correct answers DISABILITY
A = Alert
V = Verbal
P = Pain
U = Unresponsive
- GCS
- PERRL?
- Determine presence of lateralizing signs including:
- Unilateral deterioration in motor movements or unequal pupils
- Symptoms that help to locate area of injury in brain
What are the interventions for Disability? correct answers - If assessment indicates a decreased LOC, conduct further investigation during secondary focused assessments
- If pt is not alert or verbal, continue to monitor for any compromise to ABC's
- If pt demonstrates signs of herniation or neurologic deterioration, consider hyperventilation.
What is assessed and intervened for Expose/Environmental Controls? correct answers - Remove clothing
- Ensure appropriate decontamination if exposed to hazardous material
- Keep pt warm
- Keep clothing for evidence
What is the first thing assessed under the Secondary Assessment? correct answers FULL SET VS / FOCUSED ADJUNCTS / FAMILY PRESENCE
- ABCDE should be completed
- Labs, X-rays, CT, Foley,
- Family Presence
What is the second thing assessed under the Secondary Assessment? correct answers GIVE COMFORT MEASURES
- Talking to pt
- Pharmacologic/Nonpharmacologic pain management
- Observe for physical signs of pain
What is assessed under the Mnemonic "H"? correct answers HISTORY / HEAD-TO-TOE ASSESSMENT
- MIVT
- M = Mechanism of injury
- I = Injuries sustained
- V = Vital Signs
- T = Treatment
- Pt generated information
- PMHx
- Head-to-toe assessment
What is assessed under the Mnemonic "I"? correct answers INSPECT POSTERIOR SURFACES
- While maintaining C-spine, logroll pt with assistance to inspect back, flanks, buttocks and posterior thighs.
- Palpate vertebral column for deformity and areas of tenderness
- Assess rectum for presence/absence of tone, presence of blood
What should be done after the Secondary Assessment? correct answers Reassess:
- Primary survey,
- VS
- Pain
- Any injuries [Show Less]
