question 16 (2.5 points)
a whiplash injury is trauma to the lumbar vertebrae

1. true
2. false

Explanation:

First Question (Fracture Type):

A simple (closed) fracture has the bone broken without piercing the skin, with no complex fragmentation or open wound. Compound has an open wound, comminuted is fragmented, greenstick is incomplete (common in kids). So simple/closed is simplest.

Whiplash is trauma to the cervical (neck) vertebrae, not lumbar (lower back). So the statement is false.

Answer:

B. Simple, or closed
