Question 1

After controlling severe bleeding in a gunshot victim, what is the next priority in the MARCH protocol?

Accepted Answer

Assess and manage the airway

Answer

After hemorrhage control, the next MARCH step is to ensure the airway is open and clear to maintain oxygenation.

Question 2

A student experiences a delayed-fire (hangfire) situation. How long should the firearm remain pointed downrange before opening the action?

Accepted Answer

30 seconds minimum, keeping the muzzle pointed safely downrange

Answer

A minimum 30-second wait with the muzzle pointed downrange is standard protocol for a suspected hangfire, as ignition can occur after a delay.

Question 3

Which of the following is the MOST important factor in surviving a serious shooting range injury?

Accepted Answer

Rapidly controlling hemorrhage within the first few minutes

Uncontrolled hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death from traumatic injuries; rapid bleeding control in the first minutes is the single most critical intervention.

An instructor discovers that a student brought a concealed loaded firearm onto a 'no loaded firearms' range. What should the instructor do?

Accepted Answer

Calmly ask the student to unload the firearm and escort them off the range, then document the incident

Answer

A clear safety violation requires the instructor to remove the hazard (unload the firearm) and remove the violator, then document the incident per range policy.

Question 5

What should an instructor tell students about the range's emergency procedures at the START of every session?

Accepted Answer

The location of first aid supplies, AED, emergency exits, and the procedure for calling for help
