1. The patient’s primary problem is that he may have a concussion and he has a laceration

above his right inguinal region. In a statement given by his friends, they said that he did not jar

his head while sliding to the ground but obviously by his injuries to his head he has hit it

somewhere along the way The fact he is lethargic is possibly from blood loss. The patient may

have a mild head injury, this will make it difficult to concentrate, and could experience

occasional headaches, dizziness, and fatigue, also know as lethargy.

2. Clinical anatomy defines the inguinal region of the abdominal wall as the area between

the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic tubercle, in other words, the groin, or lower lateral

parts of the abdomen. The right inguinal region contains the small intestine, the appendix, the

cecum or part of the large intestines, and the ascending colon.

3. Arteries deliver blood from the heart to the rest of the body, the pressure inside the

arteries is directly related to the patient’s blood pressure. Veins, on the other hand, return the

blood to the heart from the rest of the body with very low pressure. If the patient’s laceration is

coming from a vein, then it is venous bleeding; if the bleeding comes from an artery, it is arterial

bleeding. As a rule, arterial bleeding tends to be, potentially, more dangerous than venous

bleeding, for the simple reason that blood is under considerable pressure, and a great deal of

blood can be lost in a relatively short period, especially from larger arteries. When an artery is

severed, blood spurts from it at high pressure and so blood loss can be rapid and great; when a

vein is cut, blood oozes from it more slowly and has more time to clot. Arterial blood loss is

more severe and serious. (Kandola, 2020)
