As you approach a young male who was involved in an industrial accident, you note that his eyes are closed and that he is not moving. you can see several large contusions to his arms, a laceration to his forehead with minimal bleeding, and a closed deformity to his right leg. you should: select one:

a. perform an immediate head-to-toe assessment.
b. assess his pulse for rate, regularity, and quality.
c. open his airway and assess his breathing status.
d. apply high-flow oxygen and assess his injuries. next

Answer 1

I say A
I wouldn't there doesn't seem to be an air way problem. So I would do a head to toe assessment to see if there is any injury to the person and to see if there is an air way problem. I hope that makes sense.
