EMT TRAUMA FISDAP EXAM UPDATED
EXAM WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS.
1. Hematoma - correct answer -Larger blood vessels are ruptured
and the internal bleeding forms a 'lump'
2. Mottling - correct answer -Occurs when skin takes on a
blotched purple appearance and is a sign of shock
(hypoperfusion)
3. Neurogenic shock S/S - correct answer -Interruption of nervous
system's control over the diameter of the blood vessels. Blood
vessels dilate, patient's blood pressure falls, and bradycardic
4. Control for any open injury: - correct answer -controlling
external bleeding, then manually stabilizing the injury site,
applying a sterile dressing and assessing distal perfusion and
pulse, motor and sensory functions (PMS), then stabilizing the
injury with an appropriate splint.

5. subcutaneous emphysema (crepitus) - correct answer -Air
escapes into the tissues, dissects fascial planes under the skin
and accumulates making areas appear puffy. Slight finger
pressure produces a crackling sound and feel. Lightly dot the
area
6. tension pneumothorax - correct answer -Air fills the pleural
space and progressively collapses the lung. In the process, the
vena cavae are compressed and blood return to the heart is
reduced (clinically manifesting in JVD as blood backs up into
systemic venous system)
7. Hemothorax - correct answer -Blood fills the pleural space.
8. -Breath sounds are decreased or absent on affected side
9. -jugular veins collapse instead of distention due to blood
volume being lost into the chest cavity
10. Posterior hip dislocation - correct answer -Flexed hip joint
and internal rotation of thigh
11. Anterior hip dislocation - correct answer -Limb is in opposite
position, extended straight out, externally rotated and pointing
away from the midline of the body
