Question: Which of the following statements regarding gunshot wounds is correct?
A. High-velocity bullets will cause less severe internal injuries.
B. The size of a bullet has the greatest impact on producing injury.
C. Low-velocity bullets will cause the greatest amount of trauma.
D. The speed of a bullet has the greatest impact on producing injury. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔D.
The speed of a bullet has the greatest impact on producing injury.
Question: By what mechanism is a person injured when he or she falls from a significant
height?
A. Kinetic energy is converted to potential energy; the potential energy is then converted into
the work of
bringing the body to a stop.
B. Potential energy is created as the person is falling; the potential energy is then converted into
kinetic energy
upon impact.
C. As the person falls, the amount of kinetic energy is converted into work; work is then
converted to kinetic

energy upon impact.
D. Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy; the kinetic energy is then converted into the
work of
bringing the body to a stop. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔D. Potential energy is converted to kinetic
energy; the kinetic energy is then converted into the work of
bringing the body to a stop.

statements regarding the first collision is correct?

C. caved-in passenger door
D. intrathoracic hemorrhage - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔B. deformed steering wheel
Question: Which of the following injuries would MOST likely occur as a direct result of the third
collision in a motor
vehicle crash?
A. flail chest
B. aortic rupture
C. extremity fractures
D. forehead lacerations - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔B. aortic rupture
Question: If one or more occupants in the same vehicle are killed in a crash, the EMT should:
A. suspect that all living occupants experienced the same serious trauma.
B. transport the survivors only if they have injuries or complain of pain.
C. allow the survivors to refuse transport if they have no obvious injuries.
D. rapidly assess only the survivors who have experienced obvious trauma. - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔A. suspect that all living occupants experienced the same serious trauma.
