✔✔trauma triage guidelines are not critical with medical patients - ✔✔which of the

✔✔crush injuries - ✔✔which of the injury types is most likely to be complicated by

✔✔whether or not the patient is still armed - ✔✔you are directed to approach the scene
of a shooting by a local security officer at a shopping mall. what should your initial
consideration be when approaching the patient?
✔✔rate of deceleration - ✔✔the most significant variable in a fall is
✔✔kinetics - ✔✔the law of inertia and the law of energy conservation are the two basic
principles of what concept?
✔✔crush injuries - ✔✔structural collapse and industrial or agricultural incidents are
common causes of
✔✔by loading with hunting ammunition - ✔✔how can the injury potential of assault
weapons be greatly increased?
✔✔the same speed as the vehicle - ✔✔immediately after impact, at what rate of speed
will the unrestrained driver continue to move forward in a frontal impact vehicle
collision?
✔✔pulmonary injuries - ✔✔what injuries are received during the primary blast phase?
✔✔they have significantly increased also - ✔✔use of recreational vehicles has
significantly increased. what impact has this increase had on recreational vehicle
injuries?
✔✔driver was prevented from braking - ✔✔in a single-car accident a vehicle collides
with a tree near the roadway, during your collision analysis, a lack of skid marks would
indicate that the
✔✔immediate and rapid transport to the ed - ✔✔you are treating the victim of a knife
wound to the chest who is displaying hypotension, muffled heart sounds, and jugular
venous distention. field treatment of this victim should include
✔✔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
✔✔attempt to visualize the larynx while another rescuer places pressure on the chest -
✔✔what is the most appropriate method for placement of an endotracheal tube in a
facial gunshot wound victim who has lost all landmarks?
✔✔axial loading - ✔✔a shallow diving accident may result in compression force on the
cervical spine known as
✔✔incendiary - ✔✔devices such as napalm that are designed to induce damage and
injury through combustion are said to be
✔✔continuing to move - ✔✔during a vehicle collision, lap belt and shoulder strap use
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?
✔✔sliding impact - ✔✔which type of motorcycle collision occurs when an experienced
rider trades severe injuries for minor to moderate injuries by placing the motorcycle
between themselves and an object?
✔✔only organs directly in the bullets path are likely to be injured - ✔✔which of the
following statements is most accurate regarding a wound from a handgun?
✔✔rate of deceleration - ✔✔which aspect of force is the primary cause of injury?
