Answer to Question 2
Correct Answer: 1
Blunt trauma occurs when there is no communication between the damaged tissues and the outside environment. It is caused by various forces including deceleration, acceleration, shearing, compression, and crushing. Shearing occurs when structures slip across each other. Blast injuries result from the temperature and velocity of air movement and the force of projectiles from the explosion. Minor trauma causes injury to a single part or system of the body and is usually treated in a physician's office or in the hospital emergency department.
