electronically ahead of time as well as have CD created to send with the patients as a backup.
False (MRI in the acute management of combat trauma has not been established) - ANS-T/F:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging is widely used in theater, as its utility in the acute management of
combat trauma was extensively established during Operation Enduring Freedom.
Role 3 - ANS-All trauma patients arriving at a Role ___ will receive proper and expeditious
radiologic screening of injuries.
False (Service members exposed to hazardous noise is impact noise or noise greater than
140dB are at high risk for acoustic trauma and subsequent hearing loss. - ANS-T/F: Patients
exposed to hazardous noise are only at risk for aural trauma.
Hearing Loss, Tinnitus (ringing in the ear), Aural Fullness, Recruitment (Ear Pain with Loud
Noise), Difficulty localizing sounds, Difficulty hearing in a noisy background, Vertigo - ANS-The
symptoms of acoustic trauma are:
Temporary or Permanent - ANS-Acoustic trauma may result in sensorineural hearing loss
(SNHL) that is either _____or____.
Tympanic Membrane - ANS-The ear, specifically the_____, is the most sensitive organ to
primary blast injury.
True - ANS-T/F: The smaller the size of the tympanic membrane perforation, the greater the
likelihood is of spontaneous closure.
8 weeks - ANS-The majority of tympanic membrane perforations that close spontaneously do so
within the first ___ after injury.
,House-Brackmann Grading - ANS-Acute management of intratemporal facial nerve injury is to
provide objective documentation of facial movement using the ___ scale.
False (Do not administer if contraindicated) - ANS-T/F: For significant facial pareses/paralyses,
early administration of steroids must always be provided regardless of contraindications.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) following a blast injury, Otic capsule violating temporal bone
fractures, Secondary fractures of the inner ear, Vestibular nerves, Trauma induced

be educated and directed to self-report for evaluation and possible treatment as soon as
practical. - ANS-All service members that develop symptoms consistent with noise trauma
(acute tinnitus, muffled hearing, fullness in the ear) should
Treat the patient with a fluoroquinolone and steroid containing topical antibiotic (e.g., 4 drops of
ciprofloxacin/dexamethasone or ofloxacin in the affected ear 3 times a day for 7 days.) Do not
irrigate the ear as it may provoke pain and vertigo - ANS-What is the best course of action if you
find debris in the external auditory canal or in the middle ear?

audiogram.
True - ANS-T/F: Vestibular trauma to the inner ear may manifest in vertigo.
