Question

Impaled objects in the abdomen should be:

A) removed only if bleeding is present.
B) removed quickly.
C) gently removed.
D) stabilized in place.

Answer 1

Answer: D. Stabilized in place.

Step-by-step explanation:

A impaled object can be a sharp or blunt entity that can be present inside the body due to accidental entry.

The object should be stabilized in it's position so that it does'nt move and damage the tissue. Stabilize with multiple dressing in case of external injury and to control excessive bleeding apply pressure directly on the wound.
