  • 2. 

    1     Components of the Skeletal System include

    • Skull

    • Spinal Column

    • Thorax

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The components of the Skeletal System include the Skull, Spinal Column, and Thorax. These three parts make up the main structures of the skeletal system. The skull protects the brain and forms the structure of the face, while the spinal column supports the body and protects the spinal cord. The thorax consists of the ribs and sternum, providing protection for the heart and lungs. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above" as all three options are part of the Skeletal System.

    1     Signs & Symptoms of a fracture include

    • Exposed bone ends

    • Deformity or angulation

    • Pain & tenderness

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above." This means that all of the signs and symptoms listed in the options (exposed bone ends, deformity or angulation, pain and tenderness) can indicate a fracture.

          Components of the Muscular System include

    • Voluntary (Skeletal) Muscle

    • Involuntary (smooth) Muscle

    • Cardiac Muscle

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The muscular system is composed of three main types of muscles: voluntary (skeletal) muscle, involuntary (smooth) muscle, and cardiac muscle. Voluntary muscles are under conscious control and are responsible for movements such as walking and lifting weights. Involuntary muscles are found in organs and blood vessels, and they work automatically to control bodily functions like digestion and blood flow. Cardiac muscle is a specialized type of muscle found only in the heart and is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above" as it includes all three types of muscles that make up the muscular system.

         Open fractures

    • Cover with a sterile dressing

    • Attempt to replace the bones

    • Check for range of motion & sensation

    • Place the victim on a backboard

    Correct Answer
    A. Cover with a sterile dressing
    Explanation
    In the case of open fractures, it is important to cover the wound with a sterile dressing. Open fractures occur when the broken bone punctures through the skin, leaving the wound exposed to potential infection. By covering the wound with a sterile dressing, it helps to prevent further contamination and reduce the risk of infection. Additionally, covering the wound can also help to control bleeding and provide some level of protection for the injured area.

         The Skeletal System Function

    • Gives shape to the body

    • Protects vital internal organs

    • Both a & b

    • All parts are soft and flexible

    Correct Answer
    A. Both a & b
    Explanation
    The skeletal system serves two main functions: giving shape to the body and protecting vital internal organs. It provides support and structure to the body, allowing us to stand upright and move. Additionally, the bones of the skeleton act as a protective shield for organs such as the heart, lungs, and brain, preventing injury and damage. Therefore, the correct answer is "Both a & b."

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Types of bone or joint injuries include Closed fractures – no break in continuity of the skin and

    • Loose fractures - skin is loose around site of fracture

    • Open fracture – break in the continuity of the skin

    • Internal fracture – break deep within the body

    • Surface fracture – no break in the continuity of the skin, but surface of skin is distorted by the fracture

    Correct Answer
    A. Open fracture – break in the continuity of the skin
    Explanation
    An open fracture refers to a bone or joint injury where there is a break in the continuity of the skin. This means that the bone has pierced through the skin, leaving it exposed. Open fractures are also known as compound fractures and are considered more severe than closed fractures because they carry a higher risk of infection. Immediate medical attention is necessary for an open fracture to prevent further complications and to promote proper healing.

          The Muscular System Function

    • Gives shape to the body

    • Protect internal organs

    • Provide movement

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The muscular system has multiple functions. It gives shape to the body by providing support and structure. It also protects internal organs by surrounding and cushioning them. Additionally, the muscular system is responsible for movement, allowing the body to perform various actions and activities. Therefore, all of the given options - giving shape to the body, protecting internal organs, and providing movement - are correct functions of the muscular system.

    1     Emergency care of bone or joint injuries includeBSI, Application of cold pack to area of pain, Manual stabilization and

    • After life threats have been controlled, allow patient to remain in position of comfort

    • Roll victim on their side opposite of the site of the fracture

    • Help the victim to their feet and have them walk to the ambulance

    • Place them on a backboard

    Correct Answer
    A. After life threats have been controlled, allow patient to remain in position of comfort
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to allow the patient to remain in a position of comfort after life threats have been controlled. This is important because it helps to minimize further injury and discomfort to the patient. By allowing them to remain in a position that feels comfortable to them, it can also help to reduce their anxiety and promote a sense of safety. Additionally, it is important to prioritize stabilizing life-threatening injuries before moving the patient or applying any other treatments.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Manual extremity stabilization includes: Support above and below an injury, Cover open wounds Pad to prevent pressure and discomfort to the patient, Do not intentionally replace protruding bones, and

    • Place the victim on a backboard

    • When in doubt, manually stabilize the injury

    • Check for the range of mobility of the injury

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. When in doubt, manually stabilize the injury
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "When in doubt, manually stabilize the injury." This means that if there is uncertainty about the severity or stability of the injury, it is important to manually stabilize it. This can help prevent further damage or complications until professional medical help arrives. It is a general guideline to follow when providing first aid or emergency care.
