  • 2. 

    When you are providing first aid you should

    • Wear personal protective equipment (PPE).

    • Only wear PPE if the person is someone you do not know.

    • Not be concerned about PPE if you wash your hands.

    • Use cloth gloves to protect your hands.

    Correct Answer
    A. Wear personal protective equipment (PPE).
    Explanation
    When providing first aid, it is important to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect yourself from potential hazards and prevent the spread of infection. PPE includes items such as gloves, masks, and gowns, which create a barrier between you and any bodily fluids or contaminants. It is necessary to wear PPE regardless of whether you know the person or not, as you can never be certain of their health status. Simply washing your hands is not enough to ensure full protection, as there may be other bodily fluids or contaminants that can come into contact with your skin. Cloth gloves are not recommended as they may not provide adequate protection.

    • Danger to yourself or others

    • How many people are injured or ill

    • Where the location is

    • Where the nearest telephone is

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    When assessing the scene, it is important to consider all of the mentioned factors. Evaluating the danger to yourself or others helps ensure safety before providing assistance. Assessing the number of injured or ill individuals helps determine the level of urgency and resources required. Knowing the location is crucial for emergency services to reach the scene quickly. Identifying the nearest telephone allows for immediate communication with emergency services. Considering all of these factors ensures a comprehensive assessment of the scene.

    You should wash your hands for at least

    • 10 Seconds

    • 15 Seconds

    • 20 Seconds

    • 3 Minutes

    Correct Answer
    A. 20 Seconds
    Explanation
    Washing hands for at least 20 seconds is recommended to effectively remove germs and prevent the spread of infections. This duration allows enough time to thoroughly clean all areas of the hands, including between fingers, under nails, and wrists. It is important to wash hands with soap and water, lathering well, and ensuring all surfaces are scrubbed before rinsing. This practice is especially crucial during times of outbreaks or when handling potentially harmful substances.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    After giving first aid, you

    • Can talk about what happened with anyone you want.

    • Cannot discuss anything with coworkers; you must keep private things private.

    • Can speak to a reporter about the incident.

    • Can discuss the incident with your immediate coworkers only.

    Correct Answer
    A. Cannot discuss anything with coworkers; you must keep private things private.
    Explanation
    After giving first aid, it is important to maintain confidentiality and respect the privacy of the individual involved. Discussing the incident with coworkers would breach this confidentiality and violate the privacy rights of the person receiving first aid. Therefore, it is necessary to keep private things private and not discuss anything with coworkers.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    When you phone for help, you should stay on the line with the dispatcher until

    • People with more advanced training arrive

    • The dispatcher tells you its OK to hang up

    Correct Answer
    A. The dispatcher tells you its OK to hang up
    Explanation
    When you phone for help, it is important to stay on the line with the dispatcher until they tell you it's okay to hang up. This is because the dispatcher is trained to gather important information from you and provide instructions or assistance until more advanced help arrives. By staying on the line, you ensure that you can provide any necessary updates or receive any additional instructions from the dispatcher, which can be crucial in emergency situations. Hanging up without the dispatcher's permission may result in a delay in receiving the help you need.
