Question: 1 / 400

What is an example of a hematoma?

Cut

Bruise

A hematoma is a localized collection of blood in a body tissue, usually resulting from a broken blood vessel. A cut, swelling, and scar do not necessarily involve blood and are not examples of hematomas. A cut is a wound caused by a sharp object, a swelling is an abnormal enlargement of body tissue, and a scar is a mark left on the skin after a wound has healed. Therefore, these options are incorrect in the context of identifying a hematoma. Option B, a bruise, fits the definition of a hematoma as it is a collection of blood under the skin due to a broken blood vessel.
