Blood which enters the right atria is considered to be:
- A.
Oxygenated
- B.
De-Oxygenated
Correct Answer
B. De-OxygenatedExplanation
The blood which enters the right atria is considered to be de-oxygenated because it has already delivered oxygen to the body's tissues and organs and is now returning to the heart to be pumped to the lungs for oxygenation. In the lungs, carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen, and the blood becomes oxygenated again before being pumped out to the rest of the body by the left side of the heart.Rate this question:

Oxygenated blood is transported through the body via:
- A.
Arteries
- B.
Veins
- C.
Platelets
- D.
Nerves
Correct Answer
A. ArteriesExplanation
Arteries are the blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart and distribute it to the various tissues and organs of the body. They have thick and elastic walls that help maintain high pressure, allowing the blood to flow efficiently to reach all parts of the body. Veins, on the other hand, carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Platelets are cell fragments that help in blood clotting, while nerves are responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body. Therefore, arteries are the correct answer as they are specifically designed to transport oxygenated blood.Rate this question:

Small blood vessels which ooze blood when cut are known as:
- A.
Arteries
- B.
Veins
- C.
Capillaries
- D.
Platelets
Correct Answer
C. CapillariesExplanation
Capillaries are small blood vessels that connect arteries and veins. They have thin walls, which allow for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and surrounding tissues. When cut, capillaries can ooze blood due to their close proximity to the surface of the skin. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, while veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Platelets are not blood vessels, but rather small cell fragments that help in blood clotting.Rate this question:

Blood components which assist with sealing off wounds to decrease bleeding is known as:
- A.
Arteries
- B.
Veins
- C.
Capillaries
- D.
Platelets
Correct Answer
D. PlateletsExplanation
Platelets are blood components that play a crucial role in sealing off wounds and decreasing bleeding. When a blood vessel is damaged, platelets are activated and form a plug at the site of injury, preventing further blood loss. They also release chemicals that help in blood clotting and promote the healing process. Therefore, platelets are responsible for the clotting mechanism in our body, making them the correct answer in this context.Rate this question:

Venous bleeding is heavy and appears __________ in color.
- A.
Blue
- B.
Grey
- C.
Purple
- D.
Maroon
Correct Answer
D. MaroonExplanation
Venous bleeding is heavy and appears maroon in color because it contains a mixture of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. This occurs when blood is flowing slowly from veins, allowing more time for oxygen to be extracted, resulting in a darker color. Maroon color indicates that the blood has been deoxygenated for a longer period of time compared to other colors like red or bright red, which are associated with arterial bleeding.Rate this question:

Another word for a closed wound is:
- A.
Contusion
- B.
Scrape
- C.
Abrasion
- D.
Laceration
Correct Answer
A. ContusionExplanation
A closed wound refers to an injury where the skin is not broken, and it is typically caused by blunt force trauma. A contusion is a type of closed wound that occurs when blood vessels beneath the skin are damaged, resulting in discoloration and swelling. Unlike abrasions or scrapes, which involve the removal of the top layer of skin, a contusion does not break the skin's surface. Therefore, "contusion" is the correct answer as it accurately describes a closed wound.Rate this question:

An occlusive dressing is used to:
- A.
Absorb moisture
- B.
Increase infection
- C.
Adhere to the wound bed
- D.
Allow the wound to breathe
Correct Answer
A. Absorb moistureExplanation
An occlusive dressing is used to absorb moisture. This type of dressing is designed to create an airtight seal over a wound, preventing the evaporation of moisture from the wound surface. By absorbing moisture, the occlusive dressing helps to maintain a moist environment, which is beneficial for wound healing. The moisture also helps to prevent the dressing from sticking to the wound bed, making it easier to remove without causing further damage or pain to the wound.Rate this question:

- A.
Mechanism of Injury
- B.
Action points
- C.
Point of Injury
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Mechanism of InjuryExplanation

This refers to the specific actions, events, or circumstances that led to the injury, such as a fall, impact, or repetitive motion. Understanding the mechanism of injury is crucial for diagnosing and treating the injury effectively, as it helps the clinician identify the underlying causes and potential risk factors. Action points and point of injury are not relevant in this context.Rate this question:
