Question

question 1 of 5
head trauma victims should:
a. call an ambulance, or have someone else drive to the hospital.
b. try to remain awake and communicative.
c. apply ice to the injury, or a cold cloth to the back of the neck.
d. all of the above.

Explanation:

• Option A: Head trauma can be serious. Calling an ambulance ensures professional medical care during transport. If someone else drives, it's better than the victim driving (in case of worsening condition).
• Option B: Remaining awake and communicative helps in assessing the victim's neurological status (e.g., if they start to lose consciousness or have confusion, it's a sign of a more serious problem).
• Option C: Applying ice or a cold cloth can reduce swelling and pain at the injury site. So all the options (A, B, C) are correct actions for head - trauma victims.

Answer:

D. All of the above.
