Answer:

A. treat the injury like other soft tissue injuries

Step-by-step explanation:

The vaginal is surrounded by soft tissues. Laceration on the vaginal as a result of the assault suffered by the woman would would result in tears in the vaginal, or in the skin and muscle that surrounds the vaginal.

To prevent further complications, the EMT should treat the vaginal lacerations like every other soft tissue injury. Treatment might include proper positioning, applying cold press, applying direct pressure etc.
