💡 Explanation:
This step represents the E – Exposure/Environment control part of the ATLS (ABCDE) trauma algorithm.
After the airway, breathing, and circulation are stabilized, the trauma team fully exposes the patient to identify any hidden injuries, burns, or bleeding sites, then prevents hypothermia with warm blankets or heated fluids.
Why the others are wrong:
• B) On arrival → too early; airway/breathing/circulation first.
• C) Imaging → comes after the primary survey.
• D) Exposure is for all trauma patients, not just those with bleeding.

✅ Answer:
A) After airway, breathing, and circulation are stabilized
