Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Trauma Practice Test

In a patient who has experienced blunt facial trauma, the presence of a hyphema indicates a fracture of the nasal bone. A hyphema is a collection of blood in the anterior chamber of the eye and can be a result of fractures involving the orbital bones. When evaluating a patient with blunt facial trauma, it is crucial to recognize the signs and symptoms associated with specific injuries to provide appropriate care. A hyphema specifically points towards a nasal bone fracture, requiring immediate medical attention and further assessment.
