Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A patterned injury is an injury caused by an object that leaves a distinct pattern on the skin or organ. The other actions do not cause a patterned injury. Blunt force often causes a hematoma. A friction abrasion is a wound caused by rubbing the skin or mucous membrane, like a rug burn. Stabbing from a kitchen knife would result in a penetrating, sharp, cutting injury that is deeper than it is wide.
