    injuries is TRUE?

    d. Hyperflexion fractures in the upper thoracic spine are inherently
    unstable.
    e. These patients rarely present with spinal shock in association with cord
    injury.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    pulse is only weakly palpable. The defmitive treatment in managing this
    patient is to
    a. administer 0-negative blood
    b. applyextemal warming devices.
    c. Control internal hemorrhage operatively
    d. apply the pneumatic antishock garment
    e. infuse large volumes of intravenous crystalloid solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. To establish a diagnosis of shock,
      a. systolic blood pressure must be below 90 mm Hg.
      b. the presence of a closed head injury should be excluded
      c. acidosis should be present by arterial blood \\gas analysis
      d. the patient must fail to respond to intravenous fluid infusion.
      e. clinical evidence of inadequate organ perfusion must be present.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. A 23-year-old man is brought immediately to the emergency department from
      the hospital’ s parking lot where he was shot in the lower abdomen.
      Examination reveals a single bullet wound. He is breathing and has a thready
      pulse. However, he is unconscious and has no detectable blood pressure.
      Optimal immediate management is to
      a. perform diagnostic peritoneal lavage.
      b. initiate infusion of packed red blood cells.
      c. insert a nasogastric tube and urinary catheter.
      d. transfer the patient to the operating room, while initiating fluid
      therapy.
      e. initiate fluid therapy to return his blood pressure to normotensive<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. An electrician is electrocuted by a downed power line after a thunderstorm.
      He apparently made contact with the wire at the level of the right mid thigh.
      In the emergency department, his vital signs are normal and no dysrhythmia
      is noted on ECG. On examination, there is an exit wound on the bottom of the
