Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Estimation of size involves measuring the dimensions of a wound, which includes length, width, and depth. Blunt force injuries can cause lacerations, abrasions, and contusions, which all involve changes in the size of the wound. Estimation of shape involves describing the outline of the wound, estimation of direction involves determining the path or angle of the injury, and estimation of energy involves assessing the force behind the injury.
