FISDAP PARAMEDIC TRAUMA UNIT 2026 EXAM
SCRIPT COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ If you see a deformed steering column in a MVC... what will the pt
represent with? Answer: Bruised neck, bruised chest. Sternal or rib
fracture, flail chest, myocardial contusion, *pericardial tamponade,
pneumo/hemothorax, aortic tear.
◉ If you see a deformed dashboard in a MVC... what will the pt
represent with? Answer: Bruised abdomen, bruised knee, misplaced
kneecap. Ruptured spleen, liver, bowel, diaphragm. Fractured
patella, dislocated knee, *femoral fracture, dislocated hip.
◉ Phases of Deceleration Answer: 1) Deceleration of the vehicle,
occurs when the vehicle strikes another object & comes to a stop. 2)
Deceleration of occupant, which starts during sudden braking &
continues through the whole crash. 3) Deceleration of internal
organs, that consist of internal organs that continue forward
momentum until they're stopped by anatomical restraints. 4)
Secondary collisions, which occur when a vehicle occupant is hit by
objects moving within the vehicle (loose objects). 5) Additional
impacts, that the vehicle may receive when it is hit by a second
vehicle or is deflected into another.
, ◉ Seat Belt Use Answer: All arguments against seat belt use are
unfounded.
◉ Primary Blast Injury Answer: Injuries due to the wave blast itself,
usually causing damage to the lungs, eardrums and other
compressible organs (air filled cavities). Burns also may occur.
◉ Secondary Blast Injury Answer: Injuries due to missiles being
propelled by blast force (struck by flying debris).
◉ Tertiary Blast Injury Answer: Injuries due to body impact with
another object (when a person is hurled by the force against
stationary objects).
◉ Perfusion Answer: Circulation of blood within an organ or tissue
in adequate amounts to meet the cells needs.
◉ Autonomic Nervous System Answer: Monitors the body's needs
from moment to moment, adjusting the blood flow as required.
Maintains homeostasis & is divided into the parasympathetic &
sympathetic components that oppose each other and keep vital
functions in balance.
◉ Compensated Shock (Phase 1) Answer: Tachycardia, NORMAL BP,
thirst, anxiety, clammy/cool skin.
