Which intervention should be carried out immediately for the patient with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 3?

Place on high-flow oxygen
Prepare for immediate transport to surgery
Provide supportive care and reassess regularly
Rapidly transport to emergency services

The correct answer is: Provide supportive care and reassess regularly

The other options listed are not appropriate interventions for a patient with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 3. Placing the patient on high-flow oxygen may be necessary, but it is not the most immediate intervention. Preparing for immediate transport to surgery and rapidly transporting to emergency services may be important, but providing supportive care and reassessing regularly is the priority as it addresses the patient's immediate needs and allows for monitoring and potential changes in treatment plan. It is important to focus on stabilizing the patient's condition and providing necessary care before considering further interventions.
