Question 4 of 5
You are dispatched to the scene of a one-vehicle motor collision. Upon your arrival at the scene, you note that the vehicle struck a tree on the driver side. The driver is the only patient, and she is still sitting in the driver seat of the vehicle. The vehicle is stable and has moderate damage noted to the driver side, which prevents the driver side door from opening. Which of the following would be the most appropriate way to extricate the patient from the vehicle?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Open the passenger side door and extricate through the passenger side. This is the most appropriate way to extricate the patient safely. By opening the passenger side door, you avoid causing further injury to the patient by moving them through the damaged driver side. It also allows for easier access and a smoother extrication process. Breaking the driver side window (choice A) may cause additional harm due to glass shards and sharp edges. Opening the rear driver side door (choice B) may be challenging due to the impact on the driver side. Using a crowbar to pry open the driver door (choice C) risks causing more damage to the vehicle and potential harm to the patient.
Question 5 of 5
You are cleaning the back of the truck after transporting a trauma patient to the emergency department. Which of the following contaminated items should not be placed in a plastic biohazard bag?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Plastic IV catheter. The reason is that plastic IV catheters are considered sharp objects and should not be placed in a plastic biohazard bag to prevent accidental needle-stick injuries. Instead, they should be disposed of in a designated sharps container. Nasopharyngeal or oral airway, French suction catheter, and blood-soaked gauze pads can be placed in a plastic biohazard bag as they do not pose the same risk of needle-stick injuries.
