Scenario: J.R. is a 28-year-old man who was doing home repairs. He fell from the top of
a 6-foot stepladder, striking his head on a large rock. He experienced a momentary loss
of consciousness. By the time his neighbor got to him, he was conscious but bleeding
profusely from a laceration over the right temporal area. The neighbor drove him to the
emergency department of your hospital. As the nurse, you immediately apply a cervical
collar, lay him on a stretcher, and take J.R. to a treatment room.

prohibiting him from getting air in
• The I would assess his breathing to see if he is in distress, listen to lung
sounds, count respirations, and assess chest expansion

pulses, cap refill, checking for cyanosis and checking BP Lastly I would
perform Glasgow coma scale to assess LOC
