Worksheet time: 8mins
What are the four main types of fractures?
Simple, Compound, Comminuted, Greenstick
Transverse
Avulsion
Spiral
Describe a simple fracture and how it differs from a compound fracture.
A simple fracture is a closed bone break, while a compound fracture is an open break where the bone pierces the skin.
A simple fracture is a break that requires surgery, while a compound fracture does not.
A simple fracture involves multiple bone fragments, whereas a compound fracture is a single break.
A simple fracture is always accompanied by severe swelling, while a compound fracture has no swelling.
What is a greenstick fracture and who is it most commonly seen in?
A greenstick fracture is a fracture that occurs in the spine.
A greenstick fracture is most commonly seen in children.
A greenstick fracture is a type of complete fracture.
A greenstick fracture is most commonly seen in adults.
Explain what a comminuted fracture is.
A comminuted fracture is a clean break in the bone.
A comminuted fracture is a fracture where the bone is broken into several pieces.
A comminuted fracture is when the bone is only cracked.
A comminuted fracture is a fracture that heals without any intervention.
What is the primary mechanism that causes a muscle strain?
Overstretching or excessive force applied to a muscle.
Inadequate hydration
Lack of physical activity
Improper nutrition
Differentiate between acute and chronic muscle strains.
Acute strains are sudden injuries, while chronic strains are gradual and result from overuse.
Chronic strains occur only in athletes, while acute strains can happen to anyone.
Acute strains heal faster than chronic strains regardless of treatment.
Acute strains are always more severe than chronic strains.
What are the common symptoms of a muscle strain?
Fatigue and dizziness
Numbness in the limbs
Increased flexibility
Common symptoms of a muscle strain include pain, swelling, bruising, and limited range of motion.
What are the three grades of ligament sprains?
Type I, Type II, Type III
Grade A, Grade B, Grade C
Level I, Level II, Level III
Grade I, Grade II, Grade III
How does a grade I sprain differ from a grade III sprain?
A grade I sprain involves a complete ligament tear, while a grade III sprain is a mild injury.
A grade I sprain is a mild injury with minor ligament damage, while a grade III sprain is a severe injury with a complete ligament tear.
A grade I sprain requires surgery, whereas a grade III sprain can heal on its own.
A grade I sprain is characterized by swelling and bruising, while a grade III sprain has no symptoms.
What is the typical treatment protocol for a sprained ligament?
Heat therapy only
Surgery to repair the ligament
R.I.C.E. method
Peace and love method
Define an open wound and provide an example.
A burn from hot water.
A splinter from wood.
A bruise from a fall.
A laceration from a knife.
What are the potential complications of an open wound?
Increased appetite
Infection, excessive bleeding, delayed healing, scarring, tetanus, systemic infections.
Enhanced vision
Improved circulation
Explain what a closed wound is and give an example.
A closed wound is a type of burn; for example, a first-degree burn.
A closed wound is an injury with a visible cut; for example, a laceration.
A closed wound is an injury without an open break in the skin; for example, a bruise.
A closed wound is an injury that requires stitches; for example, a surgical incision.
What are the signs that indicate a closed wound may require medical attention?
A closed wound will always heal on its own without any signs.
Signs of infection include only fever and chills.
A closed wound should be left uncovered to heal properly.
Signs include increased redness, swelling, warmth, pus, persistent pain, bleeding, or lack of healing.
What does CPR stand for and why is it important?
Cardiac Pulmonary Recovery
Cardiovascular Pressure Regulation
Cerebral Pulse Response
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
List the steps involved in performing CPR on an adult.
Check for a pulse; 2. Administer medication; 3. Move the person to a different location
1. Ensure safety; 2. Check responsiveness; 3. Call for help; 4. Check breathing; 5. Start chest compressions; 6. Give rescue breaths; 7. Repeat until help arrives.
What is the recommended compression-to-breath ratio in adult CPR?
20:1
30:2
15:1
30:1
How should you position a person for CPR?
Position the person on their side on a soft surface.
Elevate the person's legs while performing CPR.
Place the person in a sitting position against a wall.
Position the person flat on their back on a firm surface.
What is the purpose of using an AED during cardiac arrest?
To increase heart rate artificially.
To restore normal heart rhythm during cardiac arrest.
To provide oxygen to the patient.
To monitor blood pressure during cardiac arrest.
What are the key differences between adult and child CPR?
Key differences include compression depth, technique, and the ratio of compressions to breaths.
The technique is identical for all ages.
The ratio of compressions to breaths is 30:2 for both adults and children.
Compression depth is the same for adults and children.
