- Full-thickness burn to 1% of the BSA
- Second-degree burn covering 10% of the BSA - correct-answer -Partial-thickness
burn to 20% of the BSA
Which of the following open soft-tissue injuries is limited to the superficial layer
of the skin and results in the least amount of blood loss?
- Laceration
- Incision
,2|Page
- Abrasion
- Avulsion - correct-answer -Abrasion
Which of the following processes occurs during the inflammation phase of the
healing process?
- The blood vessels in and around the injury site constrict, which forces bacteria
and other microorganisms away, thus preventing significant infection.
- White blood cells are forced away from the injury site, thus allowing an increase
in the flow of red blood cells, resulting in increased blood flow.
- The immune system releases histamines, which cause vasodilation and increased
capillary permeability, resulting in local redness and swelling.
- The veins and arteries at the injury site constrict and platelets aggregate, which
stops bleeding and causes a temporary increase in the size of the wound. -
correct-answer -The immune system releases histamines, which cause
vasodilation and increased capillary permeability, resulting in local redness and
swelling.

hours, the amount of tissue damaged is generally minimal.
- With crush syndrome, massive blood vessel damage occurs following severe
soft-tissue injuries, such as amputation of an extremity.
- Compromised arterial blood flow leads to crush syndrome and can occur when
an area of the body is trapped for longer than 4 hours.
- Tissue damage that occurs in crush syndrome is severe, but kidney injury is
unlikely because toxins are quickly eliminated from the body. - correct-answer -
