no air leak. After chest tube insertion, the most appropriate next step is::
- *Re-examine the chest*

- Obtain a CT scan of the chest
- Obtain ABG analysis
- Transesophageal echocardiography
2. A construction worker falls two stories from a building and sustains
bilateral calcaneal fractures. In the emergency department, he is alert,
vital signs are normal, and he is complaining of severe pain in both heels
and his lower back. Lower extremity pulses are strong and there is no
other deformity. The suspected diagnosis is most likely to be confirmed
by:: - complete spine x-ray series
3. Which of the following is true regarding the initial resuscitation of a
trauma patient?: - A patient with a torso gunshot wound and hypotension

normal
