    Which statement regarding the secondary assessment is correct?
    A focused secondary assessment would be the most appropriate approach for a patient who experienced significant trauma to multiple body systems.
    The purpose of the secondary assessment is to systematically examine every patient from head to toe, regardless of the severity of his or her injury.
    You may not have time to perform a secondary assessment if you must continually manage life threats that were identified during the primary assessment.
    If your general impression of a patient does not reveal any obvious life threats, you should proceed directly to the secondary assessment.

  • Q15
    When using the pulse oximeter as part of your assessment of a patient, it is important to remember that:
    carbon monoxide has no effect on pulse oximetry readings because the pulse oximeter presumes that oxygen is saturating the hemoglobin.
    pulse oximetry is especially useful in patients who have cold extremities because vasoconstriction forces blood to the capillary beds.
    as long as the patient's oxygen saturation is greater than 95%, oxygen is usually not necessary, even if the patient has respiratory distress.
    any situation that causes vasoconstriction or loss of red blood cells, such as anemia or bleeding, may result in an inaccurate or misleading value.
