  1. Which of the following best describes the 'STOP the Bleed' concept of wound packing?

    Answer: Fill the wound cavity tightly with gauze and apply firm, continuous pressure

    Wound packing requires filling the cavity completely with gauze and applying sustained direct pressure to compress bleeding vessels.

  2. A student reports dizziness, pale skin, and rapid weak pulse after a laceration. These signs most likely indicate:

    Answer: Hypovolemic shock from blood loss

    Pale skin, rapid weak pulse, and dizziness following blood loss are classic signs of hypovolemic (hemorrhagic) shock.

  3. When calling 911 after a range shooting injury, which information should you provide FIRST?

    Answer: Your location and the nature of the emergency

    Dispatchers need your location first so they can route emergency responders even if the call is cut short.

  4. A gun safety instructor witnesses a student suffer a cardiac arrest on the range. The AED is 30 seconds away. What should the instructor do immediately?

    Answer: Begin hands-only CPR immediately while someone retrieves the AED

    Hands-only CPR should begin immediately for cardiac arrest; every minute without CPR reduces survival by approximately 10%.

  5. Which type of wound requires a chest seal (occlusive dressing) in the field?

    Answer: A penetrating chest wound that may cause a sucking chest wound

    Penetrating chest wounds can allow air to enter the pleural space with each breath; a vented chest seal prevents tension pneumothorax while allowing air to escape.

  6. After a range incident is resolved and EMS has departed, what is the instructor's next critical administrative step?

    Answer: Complete a detailed written incident report as soon as possible while details are fresh

    A timely, accurate written incident report protects the instructor legally and provides an official record for authorities, insurers, and the range.

  7. A student complains of ringing ears and temporary hearing loss after firing without hearing protection. The instructor should:

    Answer: Stop the session, document the incident, and advise the student to seek medical evaluation

    Acoustic trauma from gunfire without hearing protection can cause permanent damage; medical evaluation is warranted and the incident must be documented.
