Question

A woman was struck in the face with a softball bat. She is unconscious. Vital signs are bp 74/50, p 60, r8. What should you do?

Answer 1

Answer:

Apply modified jaw thrust and immobilize

Explanation:

The correct thing to do in this case is to apply modified jaw thrust and immobilize the woman. Then you should call the emergency service and observe the victim's condition, give nothing to the victim to take or smell, just monitor the pulse and see if your breathing is in agreement.

The woman must be immobilized in the position of security, which is the one that the victim stands aside (Lateralized). You should avoid leaving the victim supine (belly up), as they may choke if they have a convulsion or airway obstruction.
