Applying manual stabilization
After taking standard precautions and exposing the area, the next step in immobilizing a long-bone fracture is:
Bones, joints, cartilage
All the following are parts of the musculoskeletal system
Dislocation
An injury to a joint in which the bone ends become separated from each other is called a(n):
Joints
Are the places where bones articulate and are a critical element in the body's ability to move.
Framework
As components of the skeleton, bones the body's
Pelvic
Blood at the meatus (opening) of the penis year a a sign of ________ trauma.
Comminuted
Bones broken in several places are classified as:
Musculoskeletal system
Bones, joints, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments are 6 components of what system?
Life threatening
Dramatic-looking or painful extremity injuries can sometimes distract an EMT from looking for other________-_________conditions.
Adjacent joints, bone ends
For any splint to be effective, it must immobilize_____and______
Fractured femur
For patients with a hip dislocation, if you find a painful, swollen, or deformed thigh, and the leg is flexed and will not straighten, the pair isn't may also have
Hip fracture
If a patients injured leg appears shorter than the other, an EMT should suspect:
musculoskeletal system
Is composed of all the bones, joints, and muscles of the body.
Direct force, indirect force, twisting force.
List 3 types of mechanisms that cause musculoskeletal injury.
fracture, dislocation, sprain, strain
List 4 types of musculoskeletal injures. I
Strains
Muscle injuries resulting from over-stretching or over exertion of the muscles are called:
Splinting, open
Proper______ and prehospital care of musculoskeletal injuries help prevent closed injures from becoming.
Comminuted, angulated, greenstick
The 3 classifications of bone fractures are_____, ______, and _______.
Direct, indirect, twisting rotational
The 3 types of mechanisms that cause musculoskeletal injures are _______ force, ______ force,______ force.
Traction splint
The ______ applies constant pull along the length of the femur to stabilize fractures and reduce muscle spasms.
long bones
The bones found in the arm and thigh are examples of:
Hands and feet
The major short bones are found in the:
Direct force
The mechanism that causes the crushed tissues and fractures found in a patient struck by an automobile is:

The memory aid CSM stands for_____, _______ and _____.
Fracture
The most common type of bone injury is a break, or _________
circulation
The objective of realignment of deformed extremities is to assist in restoring effective_____
traction splint
The splint best suited for easing pain of muscle spasm associated with fractures of the femur is a(n):
Sling and swathe
The splint best suited for stabilization of a dislocated shoulder is a(n):
Formable splints
The splints that are most commonly used to immobilize joint injuries in the position found are:
Periosteum
The strong, white, fibrous membrane that covers bones and through which blood vessels and nerves pass is called the:
Muscles
Tissues or fibers that cause movement of the body parts and r to thanks are called:
Tendons
_______are bands of connective tissue that bind the muscles to the bones.
Sprains, fractures
_____and _______ are the most common musculoskeletal injuries to the ankle and the foot.
Periosteum
both the swelling and clotting associated with broken bones is due to the destruction of blood vessels in the ________.
Assessing distal CSM function, placing a pillow under the ankle, caring for shock
steps in treating an ankle or foot injury
