Bloodstains are classified into three basic types: passive stains, transfer stains and projected or impact stains. Passive stains include drops, flows and pools, and typically result from gravity acting on an injured body. Transfer stains result from objects coming into contact with existing bloodstains and leaving wipes, swipes or pattern transfers behind such as a bloody shoe print or a smear from a body being dragged. Impact stains result from blood projecting through the air and are usually seen as spatter, but may also include gushes, splashes and arterial spurts. Blood spatter is categorized as impact spatter (created when a force is applied to a liquid blood source) or projection spatter (caused by arterial spurting, expirated spray or spatter cast off an object). The characteristics of blood spatter depend on the speed at which the blood leaves the body and the type of force applied to the blood source.

You are caring for a patient who has suffered a spinal cord injury. You are concerned about the patient's elimination status. As the nurse, your primary concern is to establish a bowel and bladder routine for the patient.
It is a priority to ensure appropriate elimination for the spinal cord injury patient. It is OK to consult with family members to ascertain culinary preferences, although this is not the major focus. Speaking with the patient to learn about previous elimination habits is not appropriate because spinal cord damage alters elimination behaviours. Setting up a sleep routine does not apply to elimination.
What is the spinal cord?
- The spinal cord is a long, tube-like tissue band.
- It is the link between your brain and your lower back.
- The spinal cord transmits nerve messages from the brain to the body and vice versa.
- These nerve messages assist you in feeling feelings and moving your body.
- Any spinal cord damage might impair your movement or function.
