GSI Emergency Procedures & Incident Management 3

Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Answer

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

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Hypovolemic shock from blood loss

Answer

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

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Your location and the nature of the emergency

Answer

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

Question 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?

Accepted Answer

Begin hands-only CPR immediately while someone retrieves the AED

Answer

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

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

A penetrating chest wound that may cause a sucking chest wound

Answer

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.
