GSI Emergency Procedures & Incident Management 2

Question 1

A student at your range sustains a penetrating gunshot wound to the abdomen. What is the correct immediate action?

Penetrating abdominal wounds require immediate 911 activation and direct pressure to control bleeding while awaiting EMS.

Question 2

During a ceasefire call, a student's firearm discharges accidentally. No one appears injured. What should the instructor do FIRST?

Accepted Answer

Ensure all firearms are safe, then check every person for injury

Answer

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.

Question 3

A tourniquet applied to a limb wound should be tightened until:

Accepted Answer

Bleeding stops or significantly reduces

Answer

A tourniquet must be tightened until hemorrhage stops or is greatly reduced, not merely until it feels snug.

Question 4

What is the primary purpose of an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) at a shooting range?

Accepted Answer

To provide a pre-established response framework so staff act quickly and correctly during emergencies

Answer

An EAP ensures all personnel know their roles and response steps before an emergency occurs, reducing confusion and improving outcomes.

Question 5

When should a tourniquet application time be recorded?

Accepted Answer

Immediately after application, written on the tourniquet or the patient's skin

Answer

Time of tourniquet application must be documented immediately so EMS and surgeons know how long it has been on, which affects treatment decisions.
