Hi everyone. Please help! I recently had EMT-B certification exam where I failed Trauma because in my class we NEVER had a scenario like that. All our "patients" were always in supine position. I am not sure what to do.
Basically the patient fell down. The big things are:
1. Seated patient (would you leave her seated or help her get to supine position while holding C-spine?)
2. Contusion on left side of forehead
3. Broken left arm with bone sticking out and is bleeding heavily (ask assistant to splint it? Elevate it because you shouldn't put pressure on broken bones?)
