| Subnormal core body temperature for an extended period of time is known as: | Hypothermia |

| _______________ is the process of restoring physiological balance in injury. | Resuscitation |
| The secondary survey is also known as: | Hospital care |
| Consent for invasive procedures, including emergency surgery, is obtained from the patient if he or she is able, or from _____________ according to hospital policy. | Responsible individuals |
| The surgical technologist (ST) working in an urban trauma facility is likely to have some contact with ______________. | Forensic evidence |
| Death from ________ is the second leading cause of mortality in the United States, and approximately 115,000 cases of _______ injury are treated each year. | Firearms, firearm |
| When passing any instrument that will come in contact with a bullet, fragments, shrapnel, or other ballistic item, ensure that the _________ of the instrument are protected with rubber shod or completely covered with a sponge | Tips |
| One goal of damage control surgery is to focus solely on lifesaving maneuvers, including all of the following EXCEPT: | Control of feeding |

| Hospitals should have basic setups for: | Craniotomy |
| Copious amounts of ______________ solution are often needed during trauma surgery. | Irrigation |
| __________-based tissue sealants are used only if there is no coagulopathy present because these depend on an intact coagulation response | Thrombin |

| Trauma that results in deep tissue injury without rupture of the skin | Blunt injury |
| A protocol of ATLS in which ultrasound is used in a focus area to diagnose severe trauma | FAST |
| An injury that is not detected in normal assessment procedures | Penetrating injury |
| Condition in which the body’s normal blood clotting mechanism ceases to function; characteristic in severe multi trauma | Coagulopathy |
