Emergency Care: Trauma and Shock

Question 22 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

Which of the following steps should be taken to treat a patient suspected of going into shock? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Cover the patient with a blanket.
B
Provide food and water to the patient.
C
Have the patient get up and walk around.
D
Monitor heart rate and breathing every five minutes.

Explanation

Keep the patient warm by covering them with a blanket, and monitor their heart rate and breathing every five minutes so you can notice changes. Do not give food or water, since a person in shock may vomit or need emergency treatment. Do not have the patient stand or walk; keep them still and comfortable.
