head-on. Which of the following findings within the car would MOST likely
explain his injury pattern?

"three-collision" effect that occurs during a high-speed, frontal impact motor
vehicle crash?

A young male experienced severe blunt chest trauma when his passenger car
struck another vehicle head-on. During your inspection of the interior of his
vehicle, you would MOST likely find:
deployed airbags.
steering wheel deformity.
starring of the windshield.
a crushed instrument panel.
steering wheel deformity.

interior of his vehicle, you note that the lower dashboard is crushed. During
your assessment of the patient, you will MOST likely encounter:
trauma to the pelvis.

a severe closed head injury.
penetrating thoracic trauma.
trauma to the pelvis.
Whiplash injuries are MOST common following _________ impacts.
rear-end
rollover
frontal

Death from a rollover motor vehicle crash is MOST often secondary to:
crushing injuries.
airbag-related trauma.
,multiple collisions to the interior of the car.
ejection of the patient from the motor vehicle.
ejection of the patient from the motor vehicle.

collision by road drag. Road drag is most often associated with which type of
motorcycle impact?
Head-on collision
Angular collision
Ejection
Controlled crash
Ejection
When assessing a stab wound, it is important for the EMT to remember that:
stabbings to an extremity are rarely associated with an exit wound.
the majority of the internal trauma will be near the path of the knife.
most stabbings are unintentional and cause less severe internal injury.
more internal damage may be present than the external wound suggests.
more internal damage may be present than the external wound suggests.
A 40-year-old man was standing near a building when it exploded. He has
multiple injuries, including a depressed skull fracture, severe burns, and an
impaled object in his abdomen. His head injury was MOST likely caused by

present.
D. Awareness that the mechanism of injury will rule out any life-threatening
injuries.
C. Awareness that due to the mechanism of injury, unseen injuries may be present.
What is a coup-contrecoup injury?
a brain injury that occurs when force is applied to the head and energy transmission
through the brain tissue causes injury on the opposite side of the original impact.
What are the three collisions involved in a frontal motor vehicle crash?
The collision of the car against some type of object. The collision of the passenger
against the interior of the car. The collision of the passenger's internal organs against
the solid structures of the body.

The phenomenon in which the rapid changes in tissue and fluid pressure that
occur with the passage of a projectile result in serious injury to internal organs
distant to the actual path of the bullet is known as:
cavitation.
