Abdominal & Pelvic 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
purposes.
7. Submission: Submit your ANS before the time expires. Late submissions might
not be accepted.

,1. Question : Which of the following signs is most indicative of
intra-abdominal bleeding in a trauma patient?
- A) Hollow bowel sound
- B) Delayed capillary refill
- C) Grey Turner's sign
- D) Brisk femoral pulse
ANS : C) Grey Turner's sign
Rationale : Grey Turner's sign, which is bruising of the flanks,
often suggests retroperitoneal hemorrhage. Hollow bowel sounds
and brisk pulses are not direct indicators of bleeding, while
delayed capillary refill, although concerning, is not as specific as
Grey Turner's.
2. Question : What is the primary imaging modality for
diagnosis in stable patients with suspected abdominal trauma?
- A) X-Ray
- B) Ultrasound
- C) CT Scan
- D) MRI

, ANS : C) CT Scan
Rationale : A CT scan is the gold standard in stable patients
for diagnosing abdominal trauma due to its ability to provide
detailed images of internal structures.
3. Question : Which mechanism of injury is most likely to cause
bladder rupture?
- A) Pelvic fracture
- B) Rib fracture
- C) Direct abdominal impact
- D) Hyperextension injury
ANS : A) Pelvic fracture
Rationale : Bladder rupture is often associated with pelvic
fractures due to the anatomical proximity and the force required to
fracture the pelvis.
4. Question : In abdominal trauma, the "FAST" acronym stands
for:
- A) Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma
- B) Full Abdominal Scan Technique
- C) Fast Action Scanning Technology

, - D) Focal Abdominal Screening Test
ANS : A) Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma
Rationale : FAST is a rapid bedside ultrasound examination
aimed at identifying free fluid (usually indicative of bleeding) in
the abdominal cavity.
5. Question : Which clinical finding would most likely
necessitate an immediate laparotomy in a patient with abdominal
trauma?
- A) Hematuria
- B) Hemodynamic instability
- C) Abdominal distention
- D) Evisceration
ANS : D) Evisceration
Rationale : Evisceration of abdominal contents significantly
increases the risk of contamination and requires prompt surgical
intervention.
6. Question : Considering the anatomy of the pelvis, which
structure is least likely to be injured in a lateral compression
injury?
