Questions and Answers

1.

Injury caused by rubbing or scraping the skin.
- A.
  
  Laceration
- B.
  
  Abrasion
- C.
  
  Avulsion
Correct Answer
B. Abrasion

Explanation
An abrasion is a type of injury that occurs when the skin is rubbed or scraped. It is characterized by superficial damage to the skin, often resulting in a scrape or a graze. This type of injury does not involve deep cuts or tearing of the skin, which would be more indicative of a laceration or an avulsion. Therefore, abrasion is the most appropriate answer for an injury caused by rubbing or scraping the skin.

2.

The cutting off or separation of a body part from the body.
- A.
  
  Fracture
- B.
  
  Laceration
- C.
  
  Amputation
Correct Answer
C. Amputation

Explanation
Amputation refers to the cutting off or separation of a body part from the body. This involves the intentional removal of a limb or other body part, usually due to injury, disease, or medical necessity. It is a surgical procedure that is performed to prevent further damage or to improve the patient's quality of life. Fracture and laceration, on the other hand, refer to different types of injuries but do not involve the complete removal of a body part.

3.

Procedure of providing oxygen and chest compressions to a victim whose heart has stopped beating.
- A.
  
  CVA
- B.
  
  CPR
- C.
  
  CPP
Correct Answer
B. CPR

Explanation
CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, which is the procedure of providing oxygen and chest compressions to a victim whose heart has stopped beating. It involves a combination of rescue breaths to provide oxygen and chest compressions to maintain blood circulation. CPR is performed to keep vital organs alive until professional medical help arrives.

4.

Also called a stroke or apoplexy; an interrupted supply of blood to the brain, caused by formation of a clot, blockage of an artery, or rupture of a blood vessel.
- A.
  
  Cardiovascular accident (CVA)
- B.
  
  CPR
- C.
  
  PPE
Correct Answer
A. Cardiovascular accident (CVA)

Explanation
A cardiovascular accident (CVA) refers to a medical condition commonly known as a stroke or apoplexy. It occurs when there is an interrupted supply of blood to the brain, caused by the formation of a clot, blockage of an artery, or rupture of a blood vessel. This interruption in blood flow can lead to various neurological symptoms and can be life-threatening if not promptly treated.

Rate this question:
5.

Also called a seizure; a violent, involuntary contraction of muscles.
- A.
  
  Heart attack
- B.
  
  Avulsion
- C.
  
  Convulsion
Correct Answer
C. Convulsion

Explanation
A convulsion refers to a violent and involuntary contraction of muscles, also known as a seizure. This can involve the entire body or specific muscle groups, causing jerking movements and loss of control. It is important to note that a convulsion is different from a heart attack or avulsion, which are unrelated medical conditions.

Rate this question:
6.

Profuse or excessive perspiration, or sweating
- A.
  
  Diaphoresis
- B.
  
  Fainting
- C.
  
  Convulsion
Correct Answer
A. DiapHoresis

Explanation
Diaphoresis refers to profuse or excessive sweating. It is a condition where a person sweats excessively, often due to factors such as physical exertion, anxiety, or certain medical conditions. Fainting and convulsions, on the other hand, are unrelated symptoms and do not directly relate to excessive sweating. Therefore, diaphoresis is the correct answer as it is the only term that accurately describes the given condition.

Rate this question:
7.

Immediate care given to a victim of an injury or illness to minimize the effects of the injury or illness.
- A.
  
  CPR
- B.
  
  First Aid
- C.
  
  ACLS
Correct Answer
B. First Aid

Explanation
First Aid is the immediate care given to a victim of an injury or illness to minimize the effects of the injury or illness. It involves providing basic medical assistance such as stopping bleeding, applying bandages, and administering CPR if necessary. First Aid is crucial in stabilizing the condition of the victim before professional medical help arrives. ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) is a more advanced level of care provided by healthcare professionals in emergency situations, while CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is a specific technique used to restore blood circulation and breathing in a person who has suffered a cardiac arrest.

Rate this question:
8.

Excessive loss of blood; bleeding.
- A.
  
  Otorrage
- B.
  
  Erythrorrhage
- C.
  
  Hemorrhage
Correct Answer
C. Hemorrhage

Explanation
Hemorrhage is the correct answer because it is the medical term used to describe excessive loss of blood or bleeding. The other options, otorrage and erythrorrhage, are not commonly used medical terms and do not accurately describe this condition.

A method of prioritizing treatment.
- A.
  
  Triage
- B.
  
  Alphabetization
- C.
  
  Numerical
Correct Answer
A. Triage

Explanation
Triage is a method of prioritizing treatment based on the severity of a patient's condition. It involves quickly assessing and categorizing patients into different levels of urgency, allowing medical professionals to allocate resources and provide care to those who need it most urgently. This process helps ensure that critical cases receive immediate attention, while less severe cases may have to wait longer for treatment. Triage is commonly used in emergency departments, disaster situations, and other healthcare settings where resources are limited and decisions need to be made quickly.

Clinical condition characterized by various symptoms and resulting in an inadequate supply of blood and oxygen to body organs, especially the brain and heart.
- A.
  
  Heart Attack
- B.
  
  Shock
- C.
  
  Stroke
Correct Answer
B. Shock

Explanation
Shock is a clinical condition characterized by various symptoms and resulting in an inadequate supply of blood and oxygen to body organs, especially the brain and heart. This condition can be caused by severe trauma, blood loss, infection, or allergic reactions. It is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. Symptoms of shock include rapid breathing, weak pulse, low blood pressure, and confusion.

Condition that occurs when contact is made with any chemical substance that causes injury, illness, or death.
- A.
  
  Toxicology
- B.
  
  Poisoning
- C.
  
  Chemicology
Correct Answer
B. Poisoning

Explanation
Poisoning is the correct answer because it refers to the condition that occurs when contact is made with any chemical substance that causes injury, illness, or death. This term encompasses the harmful effects that can result from exposure to toxins, whether they are ingested, inhaled, or come into contact with the skin. Toxicology, on the other hand, is the study of the adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms, while chemicology is not a recognized term in this context.

Condition in which body temperature is below normal, usually below 95ºF (35ºC) and often in the range of 78ºF-95ºF (26ºC-35ºC).
- A.
  
  Hypothermia
- B.
  
  Hyperthermia
- C.
  
  Hypoglycemia
Correct Answer
A. Hypothermia

Explanation
Hypothermia is the correct answer because it is a condition in which the body temperature is below normal, usually below 95°F (35°C), and often in the range of 78°F-95°F (26°C-35°C). This condition occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it, leading to a dangerously low body temperature. Hypothermia can result from exposure to cold temperatures, prolonged immersion in cold water, or certain medical conditions. Symptoms of hypothermia include shivering, confusion, drowsiness, and loss of consciousness. Prompt medical attention is necessary to treat hypothermia and prevent further complications.
