Explanation:

Question 17

Lacerations are cuts (usually with torn, irregular edges), and contusions are bruises (injuries without breaking the skin, causing discoloration). We analyze each option:

• "cuts and abrasions": Abrasions are scrapes, not contusions. Eliminate.
• "cuts and bruises": Matches lacerations (cuts) and contusions (bruises).
• "cuts and burns": Burns are thermal injuries, not contusions. Eliminate.
• "gaping wounds and contractures": Contractures are muscle/tissue shortening, not contusions. Eliminate.

To define "dermatoplasty", we break down the word: "derma-" means skin, "-plasty" means surgical repair or reconstruction. So "dermatoplasty" is the process of surgical repair of the skin. Analyze options:

• "skin/cut/procedure": "-plasty" is not "cut". Eliminate.
• "skin/fix/process of": "Fix" is too vague; "-plasty" is surgical repair, not just fix. Eliminate.
• "skin/pull/procedure": "-plasty" is not "pull". Eliminate.
• "skin/surgical repair/process of": Matches "derma-" (skin) and "-plasty" (surgical repair, process of).

Answer:

B. cuts and bruises (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with B as "cuts and bruises")
