Question: 1 / 400

What is true regarding a dog bite?

A dog bite has occurred only if a puncture is visible

A dog bite is evident when teeth contact the skin with some discernible effect

A dog bite is indeed characterized by the contact of a dog's teeth with the skin that causes some visible effect, which could include punctures, scratches, bruising, or even minor irritation. This definition encompasses a wider range of injuries than just visible punctures.

Considering this, a visible puncture is not required to confirm that a dog bite has occurred, meaning that there can be other types of skin damage resulting from the bite that do not necessarily show puncture marks. Additionally, not every dog bite leads to severe injuries or bleeding; some may result in only minor abrasions or bruises. Therefore, the correct understanding of a dog bite is not limited to the perception of injury severity or the presence of blood, as the key aspect is the contact of the teeth on the skin resulting in some noticeable effect, which aligns with the correct answer provided.
