The answer to question 5 is: Rule of 9's

Explanation:

  • Quadrant Analysis: This is not a standard method for estimating burn damage to the body surface area.
  • Extremity Pairing: This is also not a recognized method for estimating burn damage.
  • Rule of 9's: This is the correct method. The Rule of 9's is a tool used in assessing the total body surface area (TBSA) affected by burns. It divides the body into sections, each representing approximately 9% (or multiples thereof) of the total body surface area.
  • Supine Comparison: This is not a standard method for estimating burn damage.

The answer to question 6 is: All the above

Explanation:

  • Soot buildup around and inside the nose: This is an indicator of smoke inhalation.
  • Soot buildup around and inside the mouth: This is also an indicator of smoke inhalation.
  • Singed hair in the nose or on the face near the nose and mouth: This is another indicator of smoke inhalation.
  • All the above: Since all the listed observations are indicators of smoke inhalation, this is the correct answer.

The answer to question 7 is: True

Explanation: It is possible for a deceased fire victim to have been alive at the time of a fire but have lower than toxic levels of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb). This can occur if the victim was exposed to the fire for a short duration or if the fire was extinguished quickly, limiting the amount of COHb in the blood.
