Explanation:

Question 23

Blunt trauma refers to a non - penetrating injury. A penetrating wound from a sharp object (causes a penetrating injury), a burn injury (thermal injury), and a deep laceration (open wound) are not typical blunt trauma causes. Being struck by a heavy object is a common cause of blunt trauma which can lead to internal bleeding as the force can damage internal organs without an open wound.

Placing the amputated part in ice water can cause tissue damage. Directly reattaching the amputated part is not a first - aid step (it is a surgical procedure). Leaving the amputated part at the scene may reduce the chances of successful reattachment. Keeping the amputated part wrapped in sterile gauze in a sealed plastic bag (and then placing the bag on ice if possible) helps to preserve the tissue for potential reattachment.

Answer:

Being struck by a heavy object.
