✔✔partial thickness - ✔✔burn injuries associated with an explosion are typically
✔✔inertia - ✔✔a properly restrained driver is involved in a head on collision. without
contacting any internal structure in the car, he sustains a myocardial contusion. what
principle of motion describes this injury?
✔✔extremity injuries are rarely fatal unless a major blood vessel is involved. so you
need to be prepared for bleeding control - ✔✔you are en route to the scene of a bow
hunting accident where a 32 year old male was accidentally shot in the upper leg by his
14 year old son. while mentally reviewing possible injuries and the equipment that will
most likely assist you initially, you understand that
✔✔the rate of deceleration of a penetrating object on impact - ✔✔the term force as it
relates to penetrating injuries can be practically defines as

injury through combustion are said to be

prevents the wearer from
✔✔the bullet expended all its energy - ✔✔what is indicated by the lack of an exit wound
in a patient that suffered a gsw?
✔✔much greater - ✔✔compared to a car that slides into a snowbank, an auto that
strikes a concrete retaining wall will have a deceleration rate that is
✔✔about three times the patients height - ✔✔at what height does a fall become severe
enough to necessitate trauma services based solely on the mechanism of injury?

rider trades severe injuries for minor to moderate injuries by placing the motorcycle
between themselves and an object?

collision analysis of two vehicles striking head on, you note that the srs system
deployed in both cars, and the drivers are walking around on the scene. neither vehicle
has a damaged windshield. what should your vehicle investigation also include?

damage resulting from the pressure wave of a high velocity, penetrating object?
✔✔it explains both how a projectile delivers its energy to an object and how that object
reacts to being impacted - ✔✔what best describes how newtons first law of motion
applies to penetrating trauma?
✔✔protective gear can contribute to a sports injury - ✔✔which statement is true
regarding protective gear and sports injuries?
✔✔bullet tumbling or deformation - ✔✔a larger and more disrupted entrance wound
than the bullet caliber would suggest is an indicator that what has taken place?
✔✔a secondary impact - ✔✔collision of a medium velocity bullet with the body after
striking kevlar body armor is considered
✔✔ensure that the scene is secured by law enforcement - ✔✔what is the primary
consideration for a paramedic when responding to the scene of a shooting?
✔✔heat - ✔✔in accordance with the law of energy conservation, the energy of motion,
as it pertains to driving an ambulance, is converted to what form of energy during the
normal braking at a traffic light?
