b Apply direct pressure to the open area on the right leg
c Assess for a patent airway
d Start two large-bore intravenous lines
ANS: C
The highest priority intervention in the primary survey is to establish a patent
airway Without an adequate airway to supply oxygen to the cells, a cerebral injury could progress to anoxic brain death After an airway is established, the
