Question 4 of 5
An adult is brought in by ambulance after a motor vehicle accident. He is unconscious, on a backboard with his neck immobilized. He is bleeding profusely from a large gash on his right thigh. What is the first action the nurse should take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The first action the nurse should take in this situation is to check the patient's airway. Ensuring a patent airway is a critical step as it is essential for breathing and oxygenation. In this case, the unconscious patient may be at risk of airway obstruction due to various factors such as blood, secretions, or swelling from the injury. By checking the airway first, the nurse can quickly identify and address any blockages or issues that may compromise the patient's ability to breathe effectively. Once the airway is secured, the nurse can then proceed to address the other needs of the patient, such as controlling bleeding and stabilizing other vital signs.
