6th edition QUESTIONS TEST BANK
LATEST UPDATE 2024-2025 ALREADY
GRADED A
Surveillance - ANSWER>>- Surveillance is the process of collecting data in order to identify
the existence, significance, and characteristics of disease.
Epidemiology - ANSWER>>Study of factors that influence the frequency, distribution, and
causes of injury, disease, and other health related events in a population.
Risk Analysis - ANSWER>>A process to examine a disease and determine the various factors
that affect its development, course, and consequences.
- A tool to identify risk elements associated with trauma is the Haddon Matrix
Haddon Matrix - ANSWER>>A framework developed by William Haddon, Jr, MD as a
method to generate ideas about injury prevention that address the host, agent, and
environment and their impact in the pre-event, event, and post-event phases of the injury
process
,Intervention Development - ANSWER>>- The creation or modification of programs to
reduce both the incidence and the seriousness of trauma
Implementation - ANSWER>>the act of placing an intervention into practice.
Ex: enforcing traffic laws, reducing speed limits in hazardous areas, modifying highways to
be safer, building safer vehicles, establishing gun safety programs and workplace safety
codes.
Evaluation - ANSWER>>- process of repeating the surveillance that took place before an
intervention to identify benefits of the intervention.
Level I Trauma Center - ANSWER>>- Regional Trauma Center
- Commits resources to address all types of specialty trauma 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Level II Trauma Center - ANSWER>>- Area Trauma Center
- Commits the resources to address the most common trauma emergencies with surgical
capability available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; stabilizes and transports specialty cases
to the regional trauma center.
Level III Trauma Center - ANSWER>>- Community Trauma Center
,- Commits to special emergency department training and has some surgical capability but
usually stabilizes and transfers seriously injured trauma patients to a higher-level trauma
center as needed.
Level IV Trauma Center - ANSWER>>- Trauma Facility
- In remote areas, a small community hospital or medical care facility can be designated a
trauma receiving facility, meaning that it stabilizes and prepares seriously injured trauma
patients for transport to a higher-level facility.
Specialty Centers - ANSWER>>- Specialty centers have made a commitment to have trained
personnel, equipment, and other resources to provide services not usually available at a
general or trauma hospital.
- Ex: neurocenters, burn centers, pediatric trauma centers, and centers specializing in hand
and limb replantation by microsurgery, hyperbaric oxygenation.
Scene Safety - ANSWER>>- Many scene hazards go unnoticed
- Do not enter an Unsafe scene
- Request additional resources to ensure a safe scene and then await their arrival.
Mechanism of Injury Analysis - ANSWER>>- MOI
, - Combined strength, direction, and nature of forces that injured a person; The manner in
which trauma occurs
Index of suspicion - ANSWER>>The anticipation of injury to a body region, organ, or
structure based on analysis of the mechanism of injury.
Trauma Triage Criteria - ANSWER>>- Guidelines to aid prehospital personnel in determining
which trauma patients require urgent transportation to a trauma center.
Physiologic Criteria - Trauma Center Criteria - ANSWER>>- Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score
less than or equal to 13,
- Systolic blood pressure (SBP) of less than 90 mmHg,
- Respiratory rate of less than 10 or more than 29 breaths per minute (< 20 in infant aged
<1 year), or need for ventilatory support.
Anatomic Criteria - Trauma Center Criteria - ANSWER>>- All penetrating injuries to head,
neck, torso, and extremities proximal to elbow or knee
- Chest wall instability or deformity
- Two or more proximal long-bone fractures
