A student at your range sustains a penetrating gunshot wound to the abdomen. What is the correct immediate action?
Answer: Apply direct pressure and call 911 immediately
Penetrating abdominal wounds require immediate 911 activation and direct pressure to control bleeding while awaiting EMS.
During a ceasefire call, a student's firearm discharges accidentally. No one appears injured. What should the instructor do FIRST?
Answer: Ensure all firearms are safe, then check every person for injury
The first priority after an unintended discharge is to make all firearms safe and verify that no one is injured, including those who may not have noticed a wound.
A tourniquet applied to a limb wound should be tightened until:
Answer: Bleeding stops or significantly reduces
A tourniquet must be tightened until hemorrhage stops or is greatly reduced, not merely until it feels snug.
What is the primary purpose of an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) at a shooting range?
Answer: To provide a pre-established response framework so staff act quickly and correctly during emergencies
An EAP ensures all personnel know their roles and response steps before an emergency occurs, reducing confusion and improving outcomes.
When should a tourniquet application time be recorded?
Answer: Immediately after application, written on the tourniquet or the patient's skin
Time of tourniquet application must be documented immediately so EMS and surgeons know how long it has been on, which affects treatment decisions.
A student fires a round that ricochets and strikes another student's eye. The injured eye is closed and bleeding slightly. What should you do?
Answer: Cover the eye loosely with a sterile dressing and call 911 — do not apply pressure
Penetrating eye injuries must be covered loosely without pressure; pressure can force intraocular contents out and worsen the injury.
After a shooting incident at a range, which of the following should the instructor do regarding the range itself?
Answer: Preserve the scene as much as possible for law enforcement investigation
A range where a shooting incident occurred is a potential crime or accident scene; it should be preserved for law enforcement unless doing so poses further danger.
