A compound fracture is a fracture __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• compound (open) vs simple (closed) fractures in basic first aid • difference between internal vs external bleeding • what happens when a bone breaks through the skin

💭 Think About

• Think about what makes a compound fracture more dangerous than a simple fracture – what extra risk is present? • Which option describes a situation where the broken bone has a direct connection to the outside environment? • Ask yourself: does “compound” refer to the number of bones, the number of breaks, or the presence of a wound at the skin surface?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which definition matches a fracture that is exposed to the outside through a wound in the skin. • Eliminate any choices that only talk about how many bones or how many breaks without mentioning the skin or outside exposure. • Confirm from basic first aid references that infection risk is a key concern in this type of fracture.
