EMS 202 EXAM 7 -40 Q&A 2022/2023
A driver involved in a rollover motor vehicle crash will MOST
likely experience serious injuries or death if he or she:
Select one:
a. is wearing only a lap belt.
b. remains within the vehicle.
c. experiences multiple impacts.
d. is ejected or partially ejected. - -d
-Air bags are designed to:
Select one:
a. be used with or without a shoulder harness.
b. prevent the driver from sustaining head trauma.
c. decrease the severity of deceleration injuries.
d. prevent a second collision inside the car. - -c
-By what mechanism is a person injured when he or she falls
from a significant height?
Select one:
a. As the person falls, the amount of kinetic energy is converted
into work; work is then converted to kinetic energy upon impact.
b. Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy; the kinetic
energy is then converted into the work of bringing the body to a
stop.
c. Potential energy is created as the person is falling; the
potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy upon
impact.
d. Kinetic energy is converted to potential energy; the potential
energy is then converted into the work of bringing the body to a
stop. - -b
-If one or more occupants in the same vehicle are killed in a
crash, the EMT should:
Select one:
a. allow the survivors to refuse transport if they have no obvious
injuries.
b. rapidly assess only the survivors who have experienced
obvious trauma.
, c. transport the survivors only if they have injuries or complain of
pain.
d. suspect that all living occupants experienced the same serious
trauma. - -d
-The cervical spine is MOST protected from whiplash-type
injuries when the:
Select one:
a. air bag correctly deploys upon impact.
b. patient tenses up at the time of impact.
c. rear end of the vehicle is initially struck.
d. headrest is appropriately positioned. - -d
-The phenomenon of pressure waves emanating from the bullet,
causing damage remote from its path, is known as:
Select one:
a. Body cavity dissociation
b. Ballistics
c. Ballistic pressure
d. Cavitation waves - -d
-The study of how projectiles affect the body is called:
Select one:
a. Ballistics
b. Kinematics
c. Velocity
d. None of the above - -a
-When a motor vehicle strikes a tree while traveling at 40 mph,
the unrestrained occupant:
Select one:
a. will decelerate at the same rate as the motor vehicle.
b. will most likely be thrown over the steering column.
c. is thrust under the steering column onto the floorboard.
d. remains in motion until acted upon by an external force. - -d
-When caring for an occupant inside a motor vehicle equipped
with an air bag that did not deploy upon impact, you should:
Select one:
