TRAUMA NURSING CORE COURSE;
COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. 8TH
EDITION.
QUESTION: What are the greatest risks for transport?
ANSWER:Loss of airway patency, displaced obstructive tubes lines or
catheters, dislodge splinting devices, need to replace or reinforce dressings,
deterioration in patient status change in vital signs or level of consciousness,
injury to the patient and/or team members
QUESTION:According to newtons law which of these two force is greater:
size or force?
ANSWER:Neither. For each force there is an equal and opposite reaction.
QUESTION:What is the relationship between mass and velocity to kinetic
energy?
ANSWER:Kinetic energy is equal to 1/2 the mass multiplied the square of its
velocity therefore when mass is doubled so is the net energy, however, when
velocity is doubled energy is quadrupled.
QUESTION:What is tension?
ANSWER:stretching force by pulling at opposite ends
QUESTION:What is compression?
ANSWER:Crushing by squeezing together
QUESTION:What is bending?
, ANSWER:Loading about an axis. Bending causes compression on the side
the person is bending toward intention to the opposite side
QUESTION:What is shearing?
ANSWER:Damage by tearing or bending by exerting faucet different parts in
opposite directions at the same time.
QUESTION:What is torsion?
ANSWER:Torsion forces twist ends in opposite directions.
QUESTION:What is combined loading?
ANSWER:Any combination of tension compression torsion bending and/or
shear.
QUESTION:What are the four types of trauma related injuries?
ANSWER:Blunt, penetrating, thermal, or blast.
QUESTION:What are contributing factors to injuries related to blunt traumas?
ANSWERThe point of impact on the patient's body, the type of surface that
is hit, the tissues ability to resist (bone versus soft tissue, air-filled versus
solid organs), and the trajectory of force.
QUESTION:What are the seven patterns of pathway injuries related to motor
vehicle accidents?
ANSWER:Up and over, down and under, lateral, rotational, rear, roll over,
and ejection.
QUESTION:Differentiate between the three impacts of motor vehicle impact
sequence.
