4N051 SSgt WAPS TEST GUIDE
WITH CORRECT QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2025/2026
Anterograde (Posttraumatic) Amnesia -correct
questionInability to remember events after an injury.
Basilar Skull Fractures -correct questionUsually occur
following diffuse impact to the head (such as falls,
motor vehicle crashes); generally result from
extension of a linear fracture to the base of the skull
,and can be difficult to diagnose with a radiograph (x-
ray).
Battle's Sign -correct questionBruising behind an ear over
the mastoid process that may indicate a skull
fracture.
Cerebral Edema -correct questionSwelling of the brain.
Closed Head Injury -correct questionInjury in which the
brain ahs been injured but the skin has not been
broken and there is no obvious bleeding.
Concussion -correct questionA temporary loss or
alteration of part of all of the brain's abilities to
function without actual physical damage to the brain.
Connecting Nerves -correct questionNerves in the spinal
cord that connect the motor and sensory nerves.
Coup-Contrecoup Injury -correct questionDual impacting
of the brain into the skull; coup injury occurs at the
point of impact; Contrecoup injury occurs on the
opposite side of impact, as the brain rebounds.
Distraction -correct questionthe action of pulling the spine
along its length.
,Epidural Hematoma -correct questionAn accumulation of
blood between the skull and the dura mater.
Eyes-Forward Position -correct questionA head position in
which the patient's eyes are looking straight ahead
and the head and torso are in line.
Four-Person Log Roll -correct questionThe recommended
procedure for moving a patient with a suspected
spinal injury from the ground to a long backboard.
Intervertebral Disk -correct questionThe cushion that lies
between two vertebrae.
Intracerebral Hematoma -correct questionBleeding within
the brain tissue (parenchyma) itself; also referred to
as an intraparenchymal hematoma.
ICP -correct questionIntracranial Pressure.
Intracranial Pressure (ICP) -correct questionThe pressure
within the cranial vault.
Involuntary Activities -correct questionActions of the body
that are not under a person's conscious control.
Linear Skull Fractures -correct questionAccount for 80% of
skull fractures; also referred to as nondisplaced skull
, fractures; commonly occur in the temporal-parietal
region of the skull; not associated with deformities to
the skull.
Meninges -correct questionThree distinct layers of tissue
that surround and protect the brain and the spinal
cord within the skull and the spinal canal.
Open Head Injury -correct questionInjury to the head often
caused by a penetrating object in which there may
be bleeding and exposed brain tissue.
Primary (Direct) Injury -correct questionAn injury to the
brain and its associated structures that is a direct
result of impact to the head.
Raccoon Eyes -correct questionBruising under the eyes
that may indicate a skull fracture.
Retrograde Amnesia -correct questionThe inability to
remember events leading up to a head injury.
Secondary (Indirect) Injury -correct questionThe "after
effects" of the primary injury; includes abnormal
processes such as cerebral edema, increased
intracranial pressure, cerebral ischemia and
hypoxia, and infection; onset is often delayed
following the primary brain injury.
