    How do you bandage a heavily bleeding wound?

    • Pour alcohol on it to sterilize it and wrap any cloth around it

    • Apply a sterile dressing to the area and wrap it tightly with bandages.

    • Hold under water and don’t bandage

    • Wrap loosely in bandages

    Correct Answer
    A. Apply a sterile dressing to the area and wrap it tightly with bandages.
    Explanation
    When dealing with a heavily bleeding wound, it is important to first apply a sterile dressing to the area in order to prevent any further contamination. This helps to protect the wound from infection. Wrapping the dressing tightly with bandages helps to apply pressure on the wound, which can help to control the bleeding. This method is commonly recommended in first aid guidelines for managing bleeding wounds.

    Which option best describes how to do the chest thrusts?

    • Embrace the patient in a hugging position, thrust, slam and pull their chest towards your own

    • Slap the patient's chest

    • Wrap both arms around the patient, at chest level. Place one fist with the thumb side against the centre of the chest. Grasp your fist with your other hand and do 5 upward and inward thrusts. If they stop breathing commence CPR.

    • Violently thrust your chest forward while the patient quietly observes from the corner

    Correct Answer
    A. Wrap both arms around the patient, at chest level. Place one fist with the thumb side against the centre of the chest. Grasp your fist with your other hand and do 5 upward and inward thrusts. If they stop breathing commence CPR.
    Explanation
    The correct answer explains the proper technique for performing chest thrusts in a first aid situation. It advises wrapping both arms around the patient at chest level and placing one fist with the thumb side against the center of the chest. The other hand should grasp the fist, and then 5 upward and inward thrusts should be performed. If the person stops breathing, CPR should be commenced. This explanation provides clear and accurate instructions for performing chest thrusts to assist someone in need of immediate medical attention.

    We use RICE to treat sprains and strains. What is RICE?

    • Resuscitate, Ice, Cover, Elongate

    • Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation

    • Relieve, Inject, Cut, Evacuate

    • The starchy seeds/grains cultivated in warm climates and used for food

    Correct Answer
    A. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation
    Explanation
    RICE is an acronym that stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. This treatment is commonly used for sprains and strains to help reduce pain, swelling, and promote healing. Resting the injured area helps prevent further damage, applying ice helps reduce swelling and pain, compression with a bandage or wrap helps control swelling, and elevating the injured area above the heart helps reduce swelling by promoting fluid drainage.

  • 5. 

    When is an appropriate time to perform CPR?

    • When the patient is unresponsive and unconscious

    • When the patient is unresponsive and no breathing is detected

    • When the patient is semi-conscious and faintly responds to your voice

    • When the patient is alive and fine

    Correct Answer
    A. When the patient is unresponsive and no breathing is detected
    Explanation
    This is because CPR is only necessary when the patient is not breathing on their own. If the patient has even a weak heartbeat, you should not perform CPR. In that case, you need to put them in the recovery position, monitor their breathing, and call an ambulance.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What do you do if the bandage soaks through with blood?

    • Take it off and run the wound under water

    • Take it off and leave just keep pressure on it

    • Leave it on and wait for the patient to get better

    • Replace it. If this also soaks through, replace and call an ambulance.

    Correct Answer
    A. Replace it. If this also soaks through, replace and call an ambulance.
    Explanation
    If the bandage soaks through with blood, it indicates that the bleeding is not under control. By replacing the bandage, it allows for a fresh and clean dressing to be applied to the wound. If the new bandage also soaks through, it suggests that the bleeding is severe and immediate medical attention is required. Calling an ambulance ensures that the patient receives the necessary medical care in a timely manner.

    Correct Answer
    A. You put padding around the injured area and do not move it unless the area is dangerous to be in. Call an ambulance.
    Explanation
    When you have a fracture, it is important to put padding around the injured area to provide support and prevent further damage. It is advised not to move the injured area unless it is absolutely necessary, especially if the area is dangerous to be in. Calling an ambulance is crucial as they can provide professional medical care and transport you to the hospital safely.

    Which has the patient priorities in the right order

    • Bleeding, Breathing, Bones, Burns

    • Burns, Bleeding, Breathing, Burns

    • Breathing, Bleeding, Burns, Bones

    • Breathing, Burns, Bleeding, Bones

    Correct Answer
    A. Breathing, Bleeding, Burns, Bones
    Explanation
    The correct order of patient priorities is determined by the severity and potential impact on the patient's life. Breathing is the most critical as it is necessary for survival. Bleeding is next in priority as excessive blood loss can lead to shock and further complications. Burns are then addressed as they can cause significant pain, infection, and damage to the skin. Finally, bones are considered as fractures can be painful and limit mobility, but they are generally less life-threatening compared to the other conditions listed.

  • 9. 

    Which has the patient assessment steps in the right order?

    • Danger, Response, Send for help, Airway, Breathing, CPR

    • Airway, Breathing, CPR, Danger, Response, Send for help

    • Send for help, Dangers, Airway, Breathing, Response, CPR

    • Response, CPR, Breathing, Airway, Danger, Send for help

    Correct Answer
    A. Danger, Response, Send for help, Airway, Breathing, CPR
    Explanation
    It is in this order because Danger is most important, as you need to make sure that you aren't putting yourself in danger by entering the scene of an accident. Response is next because to determine what to do next, you need to see how responsive the patient is. Sending for help is next so that you would've determined what kind of help you need. Airway is after this because you need to make sure that their airway isn't obstructed so that the patient can breathe freely. Breathing is after as you are monitoring the patient's breathing and making sure they don't stop. CPR is last as it is only necessary if the patient isn't breathing at all.

    What do you do when you suspect someone has been poisoned?

    • Call 0800-POISON and follow their instructions

    • Make patient throw up

    • Encourage the patient to drink water to dilute the poison

    • Sleep and ignore them

    Correct Answer
    A. Call 0800-POISON and follow their instructions
    Explanation
    When someone suspects that someone has been poisoned, the correct course of action is to call 0800-POISON and follow their instructions. This is the appropriate response because poisonings can be serious and potentially life-threatening, so it is important to seek immediate professional help. By calling the designated poison control hotline, trained experts can provide specific guidance on how to handle the situation and provide necessary medical advice. This ensures the best possible outcome for the affected individual.

    When is an appropriate time to put somebody into the recovery position? (Laying the patient sideways)

    • When the patient is semi-conscious

    • When the patient feels like it

    • When there is no breathing detected

    • When the patient is unresponsive and unconscious

    Correct Answer
    A. When the patient is unresponsive and unconscious
    Explanation
    This is so their tongue doesn't obstruct their airway, and so they don't choke on their vomit, as they are unconscious and can't control their gag reflex.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is to follow DRSAB, which stands for Danger, Response, Send for help, Airway, and Breathing. After ensuring the child's safety and checking for a response, the responder should call for help and open the child's airway. The chest pump and breathing ratio of 30:2 should be followed, with the responder using one hand to pump into 1/3 of the child's chest. Additionally, the responder should blow into the child's mouth while pinching their nose shut to provide rescue breaths. This approach ensures proper CPR technique for a child.
