Which patient is the most difficult to stabilize?
  1. Those with life threatening injuries
  2. Pregnant women
  3. Those in car accidents
  4. Those with psychiatric problems
Explanation
Answer - A - Patients with life threatening injuries are the most difficult to stabilize. Serious and life-threatening injuries occur in fewer than 10% of trauma patients. Although that is good news, the pre-hospital care providers can do little to stabilize these patients because they involve major head injury or body cavity hemorrhage. The best care includes rapid transport to a trauma center.
