Question

aubin needs atls, but the level v facility he is closest to is closed until the morning. what will most likely happen to aubin? (1 point) an on - call doctor will be called to treat aubin where he is. he will be transferred to a level iii or higher trauma center. a surgeon from a level i trauma center will travel to treat aubin. aubin will need to wait until the level v trauma center is open.

Explanation:

ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support) requires appropriate trauma care capabilities. A Level V facility is the lowest level, and when it is closed, patients needing trauma care are transferred to a higher, operational trauma center (Level III or higher, which has the resources to provide ATLS-compliant care). On-call doctors at a closed Level V facility would not have the necessary trauma resources, surgeons from Level I centers do not travel to treat patients at closed low-level facilities, and waiting is not safe for a patient needing ATLS.

Answer:

He will be transferred to a Level III or higher trauma center.
