Which term describes the physical injury or wound resulting from an external force of violence?

• A. Trauma
• B. Strangulation
• C. Spleen
• D. Stryker Saw

Answer: (A)

Trauma is the term for physical injury or wound caused by an external force of violence. It encompasses a wide range of injuries, from bruises and cuts to fractures and more serious harm, all arising from external insults. The other options fit more specific or unrelated ideas: strangulation describes a particular mechanism of harm to the neck, not the general injury term; the spleen is an organ; and a Stryker Saw is a surgical instrument. So trauma best describes the injury result of external violence.
