Managing Emergency Scenarios

Question 13 • AA - S26 Introduction to Healthcare Science

A hospital receives news that a wildfire has injured many victims, who are being transported to the hospital right away. What types of injuries should hospital workers anticipate? Select all that apply.

Answer
A
electrical burns
B
physical trauma
C
infectious disease
D
smoke inhalation

Explanation

Wildfire victims may suffer physical trauma while escaping or from falling debris, and smoke inhalation from breathing smoke and harmful particles. These are common immediate injuries after a wildfire. Electrical burns are not specifically expected unless there has been contact with electrical sources, and infectious disease is not an immediate wildfire injury.
