Then answer the questions that follow. Your EMS unit is dispatched to a one-vehicle automobile collision. On arrival, you find a 22-year-old female who reportedly tried to dodge an animal that was in the roadway. She ran off the road and hit a large cedar tree. After repeated questioning, the patient admits that she had just taken her seat belt off. You assess the car to find that the steering column is bent and a starburst pattern appears on the windshield in front of the driver’s seat. The driver, meanwhile, is very anxious and restless. You note a large bruise over her sternum. 1. Which injuries would you expect to find, considering the mechanism of injury? 2. How would you expect the injuries to be different if the patient had been wearing a seat belt? If the air bag had deployed? ©2018 by Pearson Education, Inc.

The science of analyzing the mechanism of injury is sometimes called the. 3. The factors and forces that may have caused injury to a patient are the. 4. The amount of kinetic energy an object contains depends on two factors: the body’s and the body’s. 5. During the assessment of a patient who was involved in an MVC, the EMT must maintain a high based on the mechanism of injury. 6. Understanding the factor of is more important than understanding the factor of mass when evaluating the mechanism of injury in vehicle collisions. 7. travels in a straight line unless it meets and is deflected by some type of interference. 8. The rate at which a body in motion increases its speed is known as. 9. More than one-third of all deaths due to trauma occur from. 10.

Children are initially struck higher in the body in pedestrian collisions than are adults. 2. Air bags are extremely effective in multiple collision incidents but are not effective in initial impact head-on collisions. 3. Spinal fractures are more common with rear collisions than with lateral collisions. 4. The EMT must not only recognize obvious injuries but must also maintain a high index of suspicion for hidden injuries. 5. The concept of cavitation deals primarily with blunt trauma injuries. 6. Trauma is nearly always the result of two or more objects colliding with each other. 7. A knife wound is potentially more traumatic than a bullet wound. 8. Falls are actually the most common mechanism of injury. 9. The “paper bag syndrome” results from compression of the chest against the steering column. 10. Injuries from rotational crashes or rollover crashes are not as easy to predict as injuries from other crashes. ©2018 by Pearson Education, Inc.
