Which of the following is the correct term for an open wound that complete penetrates the skin, typically travels in a straight path, and may have an exit wound?
Explanation
Answer - B - An open wound that completely penetrates the skin, typically travels in a straight path, and may have an exit wound is referred to as a puncture. Puncture wounds can result from objects such as knives, picks, screwdrivers, or similar objects. In the case of a bullet penetrating the body, the exit wound can be much larger and serious than the entrance wound.
