ACompare the corresponding parts of the body.
BWatch the patient's eyes as you probe parts of the body.
CLook for discoloration of the patient's skin.
DLook for uncontrolled vibration or twitching of parts of the body.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Compare the corresponding parts of the body. Comparing the corresponding parts of the body is a convenient and effective system of examining an injury victim. This method allows the examiner to quickly identify any abnormalities or asymmetries that may indicate an injury. By comparing the left and right sides of the body, the examiner can detect differences in size, shape, or movement, which can help diagnose the nature and extent of the injury. The other options are not as effective for this purpose. Watching the patient's eyes, looking for skin discoloration, or observing uncontrolled vibrations are not as reliable or comprehensive as the comparative examination method.
