🔍 Key Concepts

• Tetanus bacteria environment – what kind of wound creates a low‑oxygen, deep pocket where these bacteria thrive? • Difference in wound depth vs. surface area – which wound type tends to be deep and narrow rather than wide and open to air? • How exposure to dirt, rust, or contamination interacts with the shape of the wound.

💭 Think About

• Think about which wound type is most likely to close over on the surface but stay deep inside, trapping bacteria where there is very little oxygen. • Which of these wound types would be most likely from stepping on a dirty nail or splinter, a classic situation where tetanus is a concern? • Compare which wound types bleed freely and are easy to clean versus those that are harder to irrigate thoroughly.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option describes a deep, narrow entry path rather than a wide open cut. • Consider which wound type is least exposed to air, allowing anaerobic (low‑oxygen loving) bacteria to grow. • Before choosing, picture how easy or hard it would be to wash out each wound type with soap and water.
