1. Use of critical thinking skills!!

2. When viewing the next slide consider the following priorities: 1. How would client have been managed initially at the scene of accident? 2.How would this patient have been prioritized in ER (rate as ESI-1 to ESI- 5) 3. What actions would trauma team take initially to stabilize this patient… what priorities? 4. What type of shock would this patient initially experience…what other type of shock do you anticipate for this patient? 5. What potential complications
