Answer explanation

A bone fracture is a full or partial break in the continuity of bone tissue, making it the correct choice.

__________ is an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating

• CPR or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

• AED or automated external defibrillator

• BMI or Body Mass Index

• ECG or electrocardiogram

Answer explanation

CPR or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is the correct choice as it is the emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating.

What is the purpose of an automated external defibrillator (AED)?

• an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating

• used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest

• produces detailed images of almost every internal structure in the human body

• measures the electrical activity of the heart

Answer explanation

The purpose of an automated external defibrillator (AED) is to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest.

Which of the following terms are used to identify different types of fractures?

• Oblique

• Spiral

• Compound

• All of the above.

__________ is a chemical reaction between oxygen and vapors known as molecules.

• Carbon dioxide

• Fire

• Water

• None of the above.

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'Fire' as it is a chemical reaction between oxygen and vapors known as molecules.

[CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY] What elements from the Fire Triangle are needed to produce fire?

• Fuel – anything that produces combustible vapors qualifies as fuel (wood, gasoline, methane)

• Heat – temperature sufficient for it to produce combustible vapors (flame from a match).

• Oxygen – an oxidizing agent is needed for the chemistry of fire. The air we breathe, which is 20.9% oxygen, is usually enough to provide this for the fire tetrahedron.

• Unbroken chemical chain reaction – the uninterrupted interaction of the heat, fuel, and oxygen that allows the fire to continue to burn.

Answer explanation

The elements needed to produce fire are Fuel, Heat, Oxygen, and Unbroken chemical chain reaction.
