You are caring for a 23-year-old female who fell off of a bicycle and sustained a severe laceration on the inside of her upper thigh. Her slacks are torn, and you can see most of the wound. What is the next step?

A) You need to make sure the wound is very clean before trying to control bleeding by exposing the wound completely and cleaning it with alcohol. B) You need to expose the wound completely because you need to clear away any embedded particles and debris from the wound. C) You need to expose the wound completely, control bleeding, clean the surface by simply removing large pieces of foreign matter if any, and dress and bandage the wound. D) You can treat the wound without total exposure as exposing a wound in that area of the body could be embarrassing.

You have been called by family members for their mother who is "not acting right." On-scene the family informs you that they are concerned because their 68-year-old mother has been complaining of a headache and today is very confused. Assessment reveals a bruise to the right side of the head that family states occurred one week ago when she fell in church. Since all other aspects of the

assessment are normal, you suspect a head injury. Which condition would make the MOST sense given these findings and history? A) Occult subdural hematoma B) Cerebral contusion C) Scalp laceration D) Concussion
