Surface & Burn Trauma
Final Test (Qns & Ans)
2025
General Instructions
1. Read All Questions Carefully: Make sure you understand each question.
2. Time Management: You have a specific amount of time to complete the exam.
Keep an eye on the clock and pace yourself.
3. Allowed Materials: Only use materials that are explicitly allowed. Unauthorized
materials can lead to disqualification.
4. ANS Format: Follow the required format for your ANS. For example, multiple-
choice questions might need you to select the best ANS, while essay questions
require detailed responses.
5. Academic Integrity: Adhere to the university's honor code. Any form of cheating or
plagiarism is strictly prohibited.
6. Technical Requirements: Ensure your computer and internet connection are
stable. For online exams, you might need a webcam and microphone for proctoring

,1. What is the most common complication associated with
electrical burns?
- A) Arrhythmias
- B) Infections
- C) Sepsis
- D) Compartment syndrome
- ANS: A) Arrhythmias
- Rationale: Electrical burns can disrupt the electrical
pathways of the heart, leading to arrhythmias.
2. Which of the following is the primary determinant for the
severity of a burn injury?
- A) Source of the burn
- B) Depth and total body surface area (TBSA) affected
- C) Age of the patient
- D) Location of the injury
- ANS: B) Depth and total body surface area (TBSA) affected
- Rationale: The depth and TBSA determine the severity and
guide treatment plans.

,3. In the case of chemical burns, what is the priority initial
management step?
- A) Covering the burn with sterile dressing
- B) Neutralizing the chemical
- C) Flushing the area with large amounts of water
- D) Applying antibiotic ointment
- ANS: C) Flushing the area with large amounts of water
- Rationale: Immediate irrigation with water helps to dilute
and wash away the chemical, minimizing tissue damage.
4. Which type of burn is characterized by leathery, white skin
that is relatively insensitive to pain initially?
- A) First-degree burn
- B) Superficial second-degree burn
- C) Deep second-degree burn
- D) Third-degree burn
- ANS: D) Third-degree burn
- Rationale: Third-degree burns involve all layers of the skin,
damaging nerve endings and resulting in insensitivity.
5. What is the Parkland Formula used for?
©2024/2025
, - A) Calculating medication dosages
- B) Determining nutritional requirements
- C) Estimating fluid resuscitation needs in burn patients
- D) Assessing burn depth
- ANS: C) Estimating fluid resuscitation needs in burn patients
- Rationale: The Parkland Formula calculates the volume of
fluids required in the first 24 hours following a burn.
6. In assessing burns, why is the "Rule of Nines" useful?
- A) It assists in determining wound infection risk
- B) It provides an estimate of burn prognosis
- C) It helps estimate the percentage of body surface area
affected
- D) It informs decisions on surgical interventions
- ANS: C) It helps estimate the percentage of body surface
area affected
- Rationale: The Rule of Nines is a quick method to estimate
TBSA affected by burns, important for initial treatment planning.
7. A patient presents with a circumferential burn of the leg.
What complication is most concerning?
- A) Risk of infection
