Question

a victim who is coughing up blood, is having trouble breathing and has bruising on his or her shoulder might be suffering from

a severe injury to the chest

a dislocation of the sternum

none of the above

a dislocation of the collar bone

Explanation:

• Coughing up blood, trouble breathing, and shoulder bruising are symptoms associated with chest trauma (affecting lungs, chest wall).
• Dislocation of sternum or collar bone typically causes localized pain, limited movement, not coughing blood/breathing trouble.
• So the correct option is about severe chest injury.

Answer:

A. A severe injury to the chest
