TNCC 8th edition exam with complete
solutions
TNP Trauma Nursing Process - correct answer-Rienforces a systemic and standardized approach to
trauma nursing care and skills using an intergeated approach to trauma teamwork, communication and
collabration
Trauma - correct answer-Leading cause of death ages 1-44 approx one person every 3 min
brief - correct answer-Planned teamwork event designated to form a team, designate team roles and
responsibilities, establish climate goals, and engage in team short and long term goals
huddle - correct answer-Ideally convened prior to trauma arrival for the purpose of solving a problem
and regaining situational awareness
Debrief - correct answer-to explain the purposes and methods of a completed procedure to a participant
trauma - correct answer-wound or injury to living tissue caused by a extrinsic agent
laws of physics - correct answer-When the intensity of the applied energy exceeds the capacity of tissue
resistance, trauma occurs
kinetic energy - correct answer-energy of motion
Biomechanics - correct answer-The science concerned with the internal and external forces acting on the
human body and the effects produced by these forces.
Kinematics - correct answer-study of pure motion
, mechanical energy - correct answer-How external energy forces in the environment are transferred to
the body
Newton's first law of motion - correct answer-Explains that a body at rest will remain at rest and a body
in motion will remain in motion unless acted by an object
Newton's Second Law - correct answer-Force = mass x acceleration
Newton's Third Law - correct answer-For every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force
resulting
kinetic energy - correct answer-energy of body in motion
penetrating trauma - correct answer-injury caused by an object that passes through the skin or other
body tissues
Bullet related trauma - correct answer-
Thermal Trauma - correct answer-An injury that results in the burning or freezing of tissues
blast trauma - correct answer-Occurs when energy in the form of light heat and sound is released rapidly
Rollover collisions with ejection - correct answer-Ejection from the vehicle significantly increases the
probability of fatal injury
kenetic energy KE - correct answer-Speed increases energy by the square of the velocity and can
influence the extent of injury.
Velocity and KE are positively correlated with destruction - correct answer-KE increases velocity,
although velocity is relative it is the projectile KE that causes damage by transferring energy to the tissue
