B. position the patient on the less injured side and then​ "load and​ go." C. splint specific injuries before transport. D. immobilize the whole body on a long spine board and​ "load and​ go."

A​ 22-year-old female patient slipped running down stairs and has injured her right tibia and fibula. You have used an air splint to splint the injury. To test the​ splint, you​ can: A. see if you can cause a slight dent in the plastic with fingertip pressure. B. gently brush the length of the split with your fingertips. C. drum your fingers briefly on the side of the splint. D. ask the patient is the splint is tight enough without being painful.

see if you can cause a slight dent in the plastic with fingertip pressure.

To see the effect of direct​ force, you would look​ at: A. areas adjacent to the point of impact. B. any part of the patient that could have rotated from the impact. C. all areas of the​ patient's body. D. the area of the point of impact.

When treating a patient with an open musculoskeletal injury to the​ thigh, how would you BEST treat the open​ wound? A. Cover the wound with bulky​ dressings, keep the extremity​ level, and transport immediately. B. Splint the​ wound, cover with compression​ bandages, and transport as soon as possible. C. Cover the open wound with a sterile​ dressing, pack with​ ice, and wrap with​ self-adhesive bandages. D. Cover the open wound with a sterile​ dressing, elevate the​ extremity, and apply a cold pack to the area to help reduce swelling.

Cover the open wound with a sterile​ dressing, elevate the​ extremity, and apply a cold pack to the area to help reduce swelling.

In a​ dislocation, what other structures are likely to be​ injured? A. Skin and subcutaneous tissue B. Ligaments C. Tendons D. Muscles

To stabilize a hip​ fracture, how should you bind the legs​ together? A. Place a folded blanket between the​ patient's legs and bind the legs together with wide​ straps, Velcro-equipped​ straps, or wide cravats. B. Place the patient on a long spine board and bind the​ patient's legs against the board with wide cravats or straps. C. Place the patient on an orthopedic stretcher and then bind the ankles and thighs to the stretcher with wide straps. D. Secure the patient to a long spine board and then bind the​ patient's ankles together with a wide strap or​ Velcro-equipped strap.

Place a folded blanket between the​ patient's legs and bind the legs together with wide​ straps, Velcro-equipped​ straps, or wide cravats.

The first step in the progression of compartment syndrome​ is: A. blood flow to the area is​ lost, and the limb itself may be lost if the pressure is not relieved. B. pressure and swelling caused by bleeding within a muscle compartment becomes so great that the body can no longer perfuse the tissues against the pressure. C. a fracture or crush injury causes bleeding or swelling in an extremity. D. cellular damage occurs and causes additional swelling.

C. referred pain from the injury to associated muscle and bone groups. D. strain of muscles and sprain of ligaments associated with the bone.

the formation of a blood clot in the area of the fracture.

To realign an​ extremity, an EMT grasps the distal extremity while a partner places one hand above and one hand below the injury​ site, and​ THEN: A. the partner supports the site while the first EMT creates gentle manual traction in the direction of the long axis of the extremity. B. each EMT pulls in a sudden sharp motion away from the site of injury along the long axis of the extremity. C. each EMT exerts gentle manual traction on either side of the injured site until the limb snaps into place. D. the partner immobilizes the site with a splint before the first EMT creates gentle manual traction in the direction of the long axis of the extremity.
