1) A 49-year-old male has been stabbed in the lower right chest. Police tell
you that the patient got into an argument with an unidentified man, who then
stabbed him before fleeing the scene. After assessing the patient, you are
suspicious that the knife punctured the lung and is causing internal bleeding.
In this situation, the mechanism of injury would be:
A) Stab wound to the right chest
B) Assailant with a knife
C) Penetrating trauma to the lungs
D) Internal hemorrhage - CORRECT ANSWER -A) Stab wound to the right
chest
2) A 27-year-old male was involved in an altercation and was struck in the
ribs with a baseball bat. Assessment reveals intact skin with bruising to the
right lateral chest. When palpating this area, pain, instability, and crepitus are
all observed. The patient also complains of difficult and painful breathing. The
EMT would recognize:
A) Thoracic injury secondary to penetrating trauma
B) Chest injury caused by blunt trauma
C) Pulmonary injury caused by penetrating trauma
,D) Chest wall injury caused by acceleration forces - CORRECT ANSWER B)
Chest injury caused by blunt trauma
3) A patient has been critically hurt in a nighttime motor vehicle collision. She
was wearing a seat belt and hit a tree at 70 mph. The car she was driving
weighed 2 tons and was equipped with air bags that did deploy. Which factor
had the greatest impact on the injuries she sustained?
A) Weight of the vehicle
B) Deployment of air bags
C) Speed of the vehicle at impact
D) Nighttime conditions - CORRECT ANSWER -C) Speed of the vehicle at
impact
4) Two cars have collided head-on. One car was traveling at a speed of 55

Given this scenario, which would be true?
A) The patient struck the steering wheel at a combined speed of 70 mph
B) The internal organs struck the inside of the body at a speed of 35 mph
C) The utility pole absorbed half of the kinetic energy, so that the body
collision occurred at a speed of 17.5 mph
D) The energy transferred to the body is increased by a factor of 2 -
, CORRECT ANSWER -B) The internal organs struck the inside of the body at
a speed of 35 mph
6) An unrestrained driver of a car that has struck a tree at 45 mph has
suffered a contusion to his heart. The EMT would recognize that this injury
occurred during which impact of the collision?
A) Vehicle collision
B) Body collision
C) Organ collision
D) Physiological collision - CORRECT ANSWER -C) Organ collision
7) A patient who was involved in a motor vehicle collision is complaining of
neck pain. Which piece of information would most contribute to the EMT's
high index of suspicion that the patient may have suffered more significant
injuries beyond isolated neck pain? A) Lack of air bags in the car
B) Difficulty turning is head to the right
C) External damage to the car is significant
D) Death of the car's driver - CORRECT ANSWER -D) Death of the car's

8) Emergency Medical Responders have removed an intoxicated and
confused patient from a car that struck another vehicle at a high rate of
speed. The patient was unrestrained and his car did not have air bags.
Assessment reveals deformity bilaterally to the hips and femurs and bruising
to the knees. Based on this injury pattern, the EMT would recognize which
type of injury mechanism?
A) Down and under
B) Lateral impact
C) Up and over
