QUESTIONS & CORRECT ANSWERS
Prepare for your EMT certification with the 2025/2026 Emergency Care 14th
Edition Module 5 Exam. Includes verified chapter 29–35 review questions,
accurate answers, and in-depth explanations designed to boost paramedic and
first responder exam success
Arterial bleeding ANSWER;Bleeding from an artery, which is characterized by
bright red blood that is rapid, profuse, and difficult to control
capillary bleeding ANSWER;bleeding from capillaries, which is characterized by
a slow, oozing flow of blood
cardiogenic shock ANSWER;Shock, or lack of perfusion, brought on not by
blood loss, but by inadequate pumping action of the heart. It is often the result
of a heart attack or congestive heart failure.
compensated shock ANSWER;when the patient is developing shock but the
body is still able to maintain perfusion
decompenstated shock ANSWER;when the body can no longer compensate for
low blood volume, or lack of perfusion. Late signs such as decreasing blood
pressure become evident.
,distributive shock ANSWER;hypo perfusion due to a lack of blood vessel tone.
Blood vessel dilation leads to decreased pressure within the circulatory system
hemorrhage ANSWER;bleeding
hemorrhagic shock ANSWER;shock resulting from blood loss
hemostatic agents ANSWER;substances applied as powders, dressings, gauze,
or bandages to open wounds to stop bleeding
hypoperfusion ANSWER;the body's inability to adequately circulate blood to
the body's cells to supply them with oxygen and nutrients
hypovolemic shock ANSWER;shock resulting from blood or fluid loss
Neurogenic shock occurs when ANSWER;hypoperfusion caused by spinal cord
injury that results in systemic vasodilation
obstructive shock ANSWER;a term commonly used to describe the different
conditions that block the flow of blood and cause hypoperfusion
perfusion ANSWER;the supply of oxygen to and removal of wastes from the
body's cells and tissues as a result of the flow of blood through the capillaries
pressure dressing ANSWER;a bulky dressing held in position with a tightly
wrapped bandage, which applies pressure to help control bleeding
,shock ANSWER;the body's inability to adequately circulate blood to the body's
cells to supply them with oxygen and nutrients, which is a life-threatening
condition. Also known as hypoperfusion.
tourniquet ANSWER;A device used for bleeding control that constricts all blood
flow to and from an extremity.
venous bleeding ANSWER;bleeding from a vein, which is characterized by dark
red or maroon blood and a steady, easy-to-control flow.
abraison ANSWER;a scratch or a scrape
amputation ANSWER;the surgical removal or traumatic severing of a body
part, usually an extremity
avulsion ANSWER;the tearing away or tearing off of a piece or flap of skin or
other soft tissue. This term also may be used for an eye pulled from its socket
or a tooth dislodged from its socket.
bandage ANSWER;any material used to hold a dressing in place
closed wound ANSWER;an internal injury with no open pathway from the
outside
contusion ANSWER;The epidermis remains intact, but cells and blood vessels
in the dermis are damaged, also called a bruise.
crush injury ANSWER;an injury caused when force is transmitted from the
body's exterior to its internal structures. Bones can be broken; muscles,
, nerves, and tissues damaged; and internal organs ruptured, causing internal
bleeding.
dermis ANSWER;the inner (second) layer of skin, rich in blood vessels and
nerves, found beneath the epidermis
dressing ANSWER;any material (preferably sterile) used to cover a wound that
will help control bleeding and prevent additional contamination.
epidermis ANSWER;Outer layer of skin
full thickness burn ANSWER;a burn in which all the layers of the skin are
damaged. There are usually areas that are charred black or areas that are dry
and white. Also called a third-degree burn. Also typically no pain response left
due to damage to the nerves.
hematoma ANSWER;a swelling caused by the collection of blood under the
skin or in damaged tissues as a result of an injured or broken blood vessel
laceration ANSWER;a cut, may be smooth or jagged
occlusive dressing ANSWER;any dressing that forms and airtight seal
open wound ANSWER;an injury in which the skin is interrupted, exposing the
tissue beneath
partial thickness burn ANSWER;a burn involving the epidermis and dermis that
usually involves blisters; commonly called a second-degree burn
