Question: 1 / 400

One example of a hematoma is a?

cut

bruise

One example of a hematoma is a bruise. A hematoma is a collection of blood outside of the blood vessels, typically caused by an injury or trauma to the affected area. While a cut, scratch, or infection may also result in bleeding, they are not considered hematomas as they do not involve a localized collection of blood. A cut involves a break in the skin, a scratch is a shallow abrasion, and an infection is caused by harmful bacteria or viruses. These options may cause bleeding but do not fit the definition of a hematoma. The best answer is B as it specifically refers to a collection of blood under the skin due to an injury.
