Which reevaluation adjunct includes wound care and tetanus protection?

• A. Clean and dress wounds only
• B. Tetanus shot only
• C. Pelvic x-ray and imaging studies
• D. Cervical spine imaging; Chest imaging; Abdominal imaging; Pelvic x-ray; Revised trauma score; Clean and dress wounds; Tetanus shot

Answer: (D)

Reevaluation adjuncts are actions taken after the primary survey to reassess injuries and update care, combining ongoing diagnostic updates with key preventive and therapeutic steps. Wound care—cleaning and dressing wounds—and tetanus protection fit here because they’re part of ongoing management once wounds are identified, and tetanus prophylaxis depends on the wound type and the patient’s immunization status. The best option includes imaging studies, Revised Trauma Score, and both wound care and tetanus shot, reflecting the full range of reevaluation activities: continuing diagnostic reassessment while addressing wound management and tetanus prevention. The other choices omit one or more of these essential components.
