Question 328 Deck Safety

70% to pass

You receive a medical message that contains the code MSJ. What is the meaning of the message?

A The wound should be stitched
B Place patient in hot bath
C The wound should not be stitched
D You should pass a stomach tube
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Place patient in hot bath. The code "MSJ" in a medical message refers to "Medical Sickness - Jaundice". This indicates that the patient is suffering from jaundice, a condition characterized by yellowing of the skin and eyes. The recommended treatment for jaundice is to place the patient in a hot bath, as this can help alleviate the symptoms. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not address the specific condition of jaundice. Stitching the wound (A) or not stitching the wound (C) are not relevant to the presented medical situation. Passing a stomach tube (D) is not the appropriate treatment for jaundice.
