Study Notes
Chapter 25 - Test Bank - Multiple Choice Questions
- Gunshot Wounds: High-velocity bullets cause the most trauma; speed, not size, is the key factor.
- Blunt Trauma Mechanisms: Falls and motor vehicle collisions are frequent causes of blunt trauma.
- Motor Vehicle Collisions: There are three types of collisions in a typical impact: passenger vs. interior, internal organs vs. solid structures, and vehicle vs. external object.
- Blunt Trauma Injuries: Forehead lacerations are a likely injury in the third collision.
- Airbags & Seatbelts: When an airbag deploys in a vehicle, the driver will likely impact the dashboard.
- Third Collision Injuries: Aortic rupture is an injury that can result from the third collision in a crash.
- Child Passenger Injury: A child wearing only a lap belt in a car crash is more likely to experience neck and facial injuries resulting from the airbag deployment.
- Rear-End Collisions: Passengers in the rear of a vehicle with lap belts are more likely to suffer damage to the lumbar and thoracic spine.
- Severe Aorta Injuries: Lateral collisions have the highest probability of severe aorta damage.
- Rollover Crashes: Patient with a collapsed roof after rollover is likely to have head injuries from impacting with the roof.
- Bicycle/Car Accidents: A cyclist struck by a car should be evaluated for spinal stabilization as a primary concern.
- Head Injury after a fall: Intrcranial bleeding is a serious concern after a fall from significant height.
- Blast Injuries: Injuries from a blast event are categorized into primary, secondary, tertiary, and miscellaneous categories.
- Penetrating Trauma: The area of injury is close to the path through the body for low-energy injuries.
- Abdominal Wound: Assessing an exit wound after an abdominal gunshot wound.
- GCS Score: Patient with eyes opening to a pinch, mumbling speech, and curled arms is a score of 7.
- Trauma Patient Assessment: Assessing a patient with penetrating injuries to the neck, airway compromise is a concern.
- Blunt Trauma Considerations for Chest Pain: Cardiac contusion, pulmonary contusion, and rib fractures are possibilities.
- Revision Trauma Score: Is calculated with patient details, and a score of 9 is possible in a patient with a GCS score of 13 in addition to blood pressures and respirations.
