PHTLS Test
Questions and
Correct Solutions
Graded A+
Denning [Date] [Course title]
, kinematics - Answer: the branch of mechanics that deals with the motion of objects without reference
to the forces that cause the motion
pre-event - Answer: includes all of the events that preceded the incident
event - Answer: begins at the time of impact between one moving object and a second object
postevent - Answer: information gathered about the crash and pre-event phase is used to assess and
manage the patient
newtons 1st law of motion - Answer: states that a body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion
will remain in motion unless acted on by an outside force
law of conservation of energy/newton's 2nd law of motion - Answer: energy can neither be created nor
destroyed but can be changed in form
newtons 3rd law of motion - Answer: for every action or force there is an equal and opposite reaction
kinetic energy - Answer: a function of an objects mass and velocity
five types of MVCs - Answer: frontal, rear, lateral, rotational, rollover
Don Juan syndrome - Answer: the pattern of injury in falls occurring feet first
hypovolemic shock - Answer: primarily hemorrhagic in the trauma patient and is related to loss of
circulating blood cells with oxygen-carrying capacity and fluid volume
distributive shock - Answer: related to abnormality in vascular tone arising from several different causes
cardiogenic shock - Answer: related to interference with the pump action of the heart
