Question

A 21-year-old male was struck in the neck with a baseball bat during an altercation. Which of the following

findings would cause you to be concerned that he is in imminent danger of losing his airway?
A: Expiratory wheezing.
B: Inspiratory and expiratory stridor.
C: Bruising of the soft tissue of his neck.
D: Tenderness with palpation of his neck.

Answer 1

I think it is C

Step-by-step explanation:

What are the symptoms of soft tissue injuries? When soft tissue is damaged, there is usually immediate pain along with immediate or delayed swelling (excessive swelling can slow the healing process – see treatment below). Stiffness is also very common as a result of the trauma and swelling.
