A patient lacerated the dorsal aspect of his hand. This means that the injury is:

  1. closer to the wrist

  2. on the back of the hand

  3. on the side of the hand

  4. proximal to the fingers

The correct answer is: closer to the wrist

The correct answer is A because the dorsal aspect of the hand refers to the back of the hand. Therefore, a laceration on the dorsal aspect of the hand would be located on the back of the hand, closer to the wrist. This is in contrast to the palmar aspect of the hand, which is the palm side. Options B, C, and D can be considered incorrect because they do not accurately describe the location of the dorsal aspect of the hand as requested in the question.
