If someone is choking please follow these steps:
- Ask if you can assist.
- If they agree, go behind them with your arm covering the front of the body so they don't fall.
- Keep your legs slightly bent to assure balance.
- Do 5 back blows between their shoulder blades with your palm.

The most serious burns, which can destroy skin and even underlying tissue, are:
- A.
First-degree burns
- B.
Second-degree burns
- C.
Third-degree burns
Correct Answer
C. Third-degree burnsExplanation
Third-degree burns are the most serious burns because they can destroy both the skin and underlying tissue. Unlike first-degree and second-degree burns, which only affect the outer layers of the skin, third-degree burns penetrate through all layers of the skin and can cause extensive damage. These burns are often painless because they destroy nerve endings. Treatment for third-degree burns usually involves skin grafts and long-term medical care to promote healing and prevent infection.Rate this question:

First-aid treatment for chemical burns usually involves:
- A.
Applying petroleum jelly
- B.
Flushing the affected skin or eyes with water for 15 minutes
- C.
Elevating the burned body part for an hour
Correct Answer
B. Flushing the affected skin or eyes with water for 15 minutesExplanation
Chemical burns occur when the skin or eyes come into contact with harmful chemicals. Flushing the affected area with water for 15 minutes is the correct first-aid treatment for chemical burns. This helps to remove any remaining chemicals from the skin or eyes and dilute the concentration of the chemical. Flushing with water should be done immediately after the burn occurs and should continue for a full 15 minutes to ensure thorough rinsing. This treatment helps to minimize the damage caused by the chemical and can provide relief from pain and discomfort. Applying petroleum jelly or elevating the burned body part is not the recommended first-aid treatment for chemical burns.Rate this question:

- A.
Care Call Check
- B.
Check Call Care
- C.

This sequence makes sense in various contexts, such as emergency response, customer service, or medical assistance. Therefore, "Check Call Care" is the most appropriate and logical option among the given choices.Rate this question:

Which comes first when someone is choking after you have recieved consent?
- A.
Abdominal Thrusts
- B.
Back Blows
- C.
Hip Toss
Correct Answer
B. Back BlowsExplanation
After receiving consent, the first step when someone is choking is to perform back blows. Back blows are a technique used to dislodge an obstruction from the airway by striking the person's back between the shoulder blades with the heel of your hand. This can help to force the object out and restore normal breathing. Abdominal thrusts and hip toss are not the initial steps for choking and should be performed if back blows are unsuccessful in clearing the airway.Rate this question:
