47. A 16-year-old girl is brought to the emergency department 30 minutes after she was hit by a car while riding her bicycle. Physical examination shows an anterior tear of the vaginal vestibule and a pelvic fracture. The tear in this patient is most likely to be first associated with injury to which of the following structures? A) Bulbospongiosus muscle B) Clitoris OC) Perineal body D) Rectum E) Urethra

Question
Transcribed Image Text:**Question 47:**
A 16-year-old girl is brought to the emergency department 30 minutes after she was hit by a car while riding her bicycle. Physical examination shows an anterior tear of the vaginal vestibule and a pelvic fracture. The tear in this patient is most likely to be first associated with injury to which of the following structures?
- A) Bulbospongiosus muscle
- B) Clitoris
- C) Perineal body
- D) Rectum
- E) Urethra
---
**Explanation:**
This question is designed to test knowledge on anatomy and injury patterns specific to traumatic events. The anterior tear of the vaginal vestibule is most closely associated with injury to structures located anteriorly in the pelvic region. Given the options, the most likely structure to be affected based on the anatomical location would be:
- **E) Urethra**
In the event of an anterior tear in the vaginal vestibule due to trauma, the urethra is in close proximity and would be most at risk for injury.
