ANSWER-
Tertiary: Improvement of outcomes related to the traumatic injury - CORRECT
ANSWER-
Education: these can be community-based initiatives such as public service

p. 26 - CORRECT ANSWER-
- Solid organs such as the liver, have a greater propensity to shear or tear under the
same forces - CORRECT ANSWER-
Describe energy forms - CORRECT ANSWER-
p. 10 - CORRECT ANSWER-
- If those same forces are instead released inside the cranium, bone will resist
expansion, augmenting soft tissue crushing, until the tensile strength of the bone is
exceeded and an explosive release of pressure results - CORRECT ANSWER-
Describe the three E's of injury control - CORRECT ANSWER-
- Mechanical (energy transfer from one object to another in the form of motion) -
CORRECT ANSWER-
Engineering: technological interventions such as side impact airbags, automated blind
spot alarms, ignition lock devices for those with DUIs. In playgrounds and sports, this
involves surface material under playground equipment and athletic safety gear. Another
intervention is improved use of smoke alarms in fire prevention - CORRECT ANSWER-
ch. 4, p. 32 - CORRECT ANSWER-
Enforcement and legislation: include laws at all jurisdictional levels regarding driving
while intoxicated, booster seats, primary seatbelt use, and distracted driving. For sports
this includes rules regarding illegal hits, examination after impact, and return-to-play
requirements after a head injury - CORRECT ANSWER-
- Thermal (energy transfer of heat in environment to the host) - CORRECT ANSWER-
- Secondary injuries: include fragment injuries and generally cause the greatest volume
of casualties. They include injuries such as puncture wounds, lacerations, and impaled
objects. - CORRECT ANSWER-
p. 11 - CORRECT ANSWER-
, - Chemical (heat energy transfer from active chemical substances such as chlorine,
drain cleaner, acids, or plants) - CORRECT ANSWER-
How can the trauma nurse have an impact when it comes to the legislative process? -
CORRECT ANSWER-
The Haddon Matrix broadened the approach and placed emphasis on
countermeasures, such were more effective than changing human behavior. Haddon
describes three phases of the injury event: - CORRECT ANSWER-
By advocating for stronger laws and more consistent enforcement - CORRECT
ANSWER-
For each phase of the event, countermeasures for prevention can be applied. They
include: - CORRECT ANSWER-
- Radiant (energy transfer from blast sound waves, radioactivity such as a nuclear
facility, or rays of the sun) - CORRECT ANSWER-
Define kinematics - CORRECT ANSWER-
The agent (motor vehicle) - CORRECT ANSWER-
The study of energy transfer as it applies to identifying actual or intentional injuries -
CORRECT ANSWER-

Define biomechanics - CORRECT ANSWER-
- Deceleration forces: include those applied in falls and collisions where injuries are
caused by sudden stop of the body's motion - CORRECT ANSWER-
The general study of forces and their effects - CORRECT ANSWER-
- Reevaluation (consideration of transfer) - CORRECT ANSWER-
- Acceleration forces: not as common as deceleration forces and result from a sudden
and rapid onset of motion (parked car being hit by a vehicle traveling at a high rate of
