You arrive on the scene of a two-car motor vehicle collision. The patient was the unrestrained driver of a car that struck another from behind at 25 mph. In the course of the collision, the patient flew forward and struck the windshield with his head. No air bags were deployed. The patient extricated himself and denies head, neck, or back pain; however, you do note a small cut on his hand, which
occurred as he was getting out of the car. When asked about preexisting medical problems he tells you that he did have herniated disks in his lumbar spine that were surgically repaired several years ago. Based on this, your strongest reason to fully immobilize this patient would be: A) history of back surgery. B) laceration to the hand. C) self-extrication of the patient. D) mechanism of injury.
The wife of a military veteran with PTSD states that her husband became a type II diabetic 10 years after returning from combat. She states that there is no history of this in either side of the family and he is not overweight nor has any other risk factors for the disease. Consequently, she believes the diabetes is resultant from his experience in the military. Your response would be:
A) "The diabetes is most likely a result of undiagnosed traumatic brain injury, not the PTSD." B) "It is not uncommon for combat veterans to unexplainably develop such conditions like this." C) "I think we have to suspect that he sustained an injury to his pancreas at some point." D) "Not that it cannot happen, but era veterans, not combat veterans, typically develop diabetes."
