Emergency Care: Trauma and Shock

Question 3 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

What should a first responder do to help a patient who has suffered both physical and emotional trauma? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
reassure the victim that help is on the way
B
attempt to give the patient trauma counseling
C
tell the victim their level of medical training
D
treat just the physical trauma and ignore any signs of emotional trauma

Explanation

Reassure the victim that help is on the way, and calmly explain your level of medical training so they know what to expect. A first responder should provide support without trying to give trauma counseling, which is beyond their role, and should not ignore signs of emotional trauma while treating physical injuries.
