You are assisting another OEC Technician to treat a young male with a deep laceration on his neck. Your partner appears to have controlled the bleeding. He asks you to apply a pressure dressing. In addition to helping to control the bleeding, you recognize that another important benefit to this type of dressing on a neck wound is:
a. preventing a cervical collar from irritating the wound.
b. promoting clot formation to prevent further bleeding.
c. preventing the entry of air into the circulatory system.
d. providing neck stabilization.
Question 2
You are on a snowmobiling trip with friends when you see members of the lead group hollering and waving their hands up ahead. When you get to the scene you note that the lead rider apparently did not see a chain across the road, and he struck the chain with his neck so forcefully that he was thrown backward off his machine. Someone in the group is maintaining manual in-line stabilization. When you assess the injured person, which of the following signs would indicate the injury that must be addressed and managed first?
a. Difficulty speaking
b. A laceration to the forehead
c. An open fracture of the left arm
