Questions and Answers

1.

During the posterior drawer test where is the pressure applied to the knee?
- A.
  
  Medial side
- B.
  
  Posterior side
- C.
  
  Anterior side
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Anterior side

Explanation
During the posterior drawer test, pressure is applied to the anterior side of the knee. This test is used to assess the stability of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in the knee joint. By applying pressure to the anterior side, the examiner can evaluate any excessive posterior translation of the tibia relative to the femur, indicating a potential PCL injury.

2.

During the McMurray test what does the clicking sound indicate.
- A.
  
  Instability in the ankle joint
- B.
  
  A tear of the meniscus
- C.
  
  Joint laxity of the leg being tested
- D.
  
  A complete tear of the ACL
Correct Answer
B. A tear of the meniscus

Explanation
The clicking sound during the McMurray test indicates a tear of the meniscus. The McMurray test is used to assess for meniscal tears in the knee. When the test is positive, meaning there is a tear, a clicking or popping sound may be heard as the knee is manipulated. This sound is caused by the torn meniscus moving or catching in the joint. Therefore, the presence of a clicking sound suggests a tear of the meniscus.

3.

During the anterior drawer test what angle should the individuals leg be in.
- A.
  
  180 degrees
- B.
  
  65 degrees
- C.
  
  110 degrees
- D.
  
  90 degrees
Correct Answer
D. 90 degrees

Explanation
During the anterior drawer test, the individual's leg should be at a 90-degree angle. This test is commonly used to assess the integrity of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. The examiner stabilizes the lower leg while applying a forward force to the upper leg, checking for excessive anterior translation of the tibia relative to the femur. A 90-degree angle allows for proper positioning and accurate assessment of the knee joint stability during this test.

A laceration is a
- A.
  
  Region of injured tissue or skin in which blood capillaries have been ruptured
- B.
  
  A cut in the skin
- C.
  
  Type of broken bone
- D.
  
  A ruptured muscle
Correct Answer
B. A cut in the skin

Explanation
A laceration refers to a cut in the skin. It occurs when the skin is torn or cut open, often caused by sharp objects or trauma. Lacerations can vary in severity, from minor cuts that only affect the surface of the skin to deep wounds that may require stitches or medical attention. The rupture of blood capillaries is a common characteristic of lacerations, leading to bleeding.

The P in T.O.T.A.P.S stands for
- A.
  
  Pressure
- B.
  
  Passive movement
- C.
  
  Participating test
- D.
  
  Passive test
Correct Answer
B. Passive movement

Explanation
Passive movement is the correct answer because the acronym T.O.T.A.P.S stands for Temperature, Oxygen, Time, Airway, Position, and Support. None of the other options mentioned in the question match any of the letters in the acronym. Therefore, the correct answer must be Passive movement, as it is the only option that starts with the letter "P" and fits the pattern of the other letters in T.O.T.A.P.S.

6.

The inflammatory response lasts
- A.
  
  12 hours
- B.
  
  24 hours
- C.
  
  30 hours
- D.
  
  72 hours
Correct Answer
D. 72 hours

Explanation
The inflammatory response is a complex biological process that occurs in response to tissue injury or infection. It involves the release of various chemical mediators that cause blood vessels to dilate, increase blood flow to the affected area, and recruit immune cells to the site of injury. This response helps to remove harmful agents and initiate tissue repair. The duration of the inflammatory response can vary depending on the severity and type of injury or infection. In general, it typically lasts for a few hours to a few days. Therefore, the correct answer is 72 hours, indicating that the inflammatory response can persist for up to three days.

A contusion is a
- A.
  
  Region of injured tissue or skin in which blood capillaries have been ruptured
- B.
  
  A cut in the skin
- C.
  
  Ype of broken bone
- D.
  
  Ruptured muscle
Correct Answer
A. Region of injured tissue or skin in which blood capillaries have been ruptured

Explanation
A contusion refers to a region of injured tissue or skin in which blood capillaries have been ruptured. This typically occurs as a result of a blunt force trauma or injury, causing the blood vessels beneath the skin to break and leak blood into the surrounding tissue. The discoloration and swelling commonly associated with a contusion are due to this blood leakage.

The acronym R.I.C.E.R stands for
- A.
  
  Rest, Ice, Contusion, Elevate, Referal
- B.
  
  Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation, Referal
- C.
  
  Referal, Ice, Compression, Elevate, Rest
- D.
  
  Recurrence, immersion, contusion, elevate, refer
Correct Answer
B. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation, Referal

Explanation
The correct answer is Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation, Referral. This acronym, R.I.C.E.R, is commonly used in first aid treatment for acute injuries such as sprains, strains, or contusions. Resting the injured area helps prevent further damage, while applying ice reduces pain and inflammation. Compression with a bandage helps to control swelling, and elevating the injured area helps reduce swelling as well. Referral refers to seeking medical attention or professional advice for further assessment and treatment.

A sprain occurs in a
- A.
  
  Ligament
- B.
  
  Tendon
- C.
  
  Muscle
- D.
  
  Bone
Correct Answer
A. Ligament

Explanation
A sprain occurs in a ligament, which is a tough band of fibrous tissue that connects bones to other bones in a joint. When a ligament is stretched or torn, it results in a sprain. This can happen due to sudden twisting or impact to a joint, causing the ligament to overextend or tear. Symptoms of a sprain include pain, swelling, and difficulty in moving the affected joint. Treatment usually involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), along with physical therapy to regain strength and flexibility in the joint.

An indirect injury is
- A.
  
  An injury that has occurred at the site of the impact/cause
- B.
  
  An injury that occurs at a referred site from the impact/cause
- C.
  
  A break in the bone
- D.
  
  A tear in a muscle
Correct Answer
B. An injury that occurs at a referred site from the impact/cause

Explanation
An indirect injury refers to an injury that occurs at a referred site from the impact or cause. This means that the injury is not directly at the site of impact or cause, but rather in a different location that is affected by the impact or cause. This could involve pain or damage in a different area of the body than where the initial impact or cause occurred. It is important to consider these referred sites when diagnosing and treating injuries to ensure that all affected areas are properly addressed.
