When imaging a trauma c-spine, which is necessary for imaging?
do nothing leave the patient as they are
to remove the patient's jewelry that will superimpose anatomy
remove the patient from the spine board to facilitate better imaging
remove the patient's c-collar
to remove the patient's jewelry that will superimpose anatomy
Rationale: With trauma imaging, the technologist should attempt to remove clothing or jewelry which may obscure essential anatomy. The patient must remain in the c-collar and on the spine board.
