At the scene of an accident, which intervention applies to a client with a suspected neck injury?

  • administer CPR
  • keep the person warm
  • do not move the client
  • ask the client to state her name and birthday
Number 3 is correct.
Do not move a client whose neck is in an awkward position or who is unconscious. Instead, keep the client immobilized and get help immediately. In this situation, CPR is not needed for the client. Keeping the client warm is necessary but not a priority. Asking the client to state her name and birthday may be appropriate if a brain injury is suspected, not a neck injury.
