Injury severity is ranked relative to its importance to
_______________? - ANSWERS-The whole body
AIS reflects severity of single injuries and are unaffected by what three
things? - ANSWERS-1) time
2) sequela

,AIS is based on what three (3) factors? - ANSWERS-1) anatomically-
based
2) consensus driven
3) global
Severity is NOT contingent upon what two (2) factors? - ANSWERS-1)
