    What can you give to a person who might be having a heart attack?

    • A good massage

    • Coffee

    • Aspirin

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Aspirin
    Explanation
    Aspirin can be given to a person who might be having a heart attack because it helps to thin the blood and prevent blood clots. This can be beneficial during a heart attack as it helps to improve blood flow to the heart and reduce the risk of further damage. A good massage and coffee may not be appropriate or effective in treating a heart attack.

    What is the ratio of compressions to breaths when performing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)?

    • 15 breaths: 1 compression

    • 20 breaths: 2 compressions

    • 30 compressions: 2 breaths

    • 30 compressions: 2 breaths (adults) & 15 breaths: 1 compression (children)

    Correct Answer
    A. 30 compressions: 2 breaths (adults) & 15 breaths: 1 compression (children)
    Explanation
    This represents the standard ratio of compressions to breaths during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). For adults, it's 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths, and for children, it's 15 breaths followed by 1 compression.

    What is the management of a conscious casualty who has diabetes and low blood sugar?

    • Give water

    • Give nothing

    • Give sugar

    • Give insulin

    Correct Answer
    A. Give sugar
    Explanation
    In the management of a conscious casualty who has diabetes and low blood sugar, the correct course of action is to give sugar. This is because low blood sugar, also known as hypoglycemia, can be dangerous and potentially life-threatening. Giving sugar helps to quickly raise the blood sugar levels and prevent further complications. It is important to provide a fast-acting source of sugar, such as glucose tablets or a sugary drink, to the casualty in order to restore their blood sugar levels to a safe range.

    What would you do first if you noticed a person in a restaurant choking on a piece of steak?

    • Grab the person from behind, clasp your hands in front of the chest and squeeze hard

    • Sit the person down and firmly push on their chest

    • Encourage the person to lean forward and try to cough up the steak

    • Rub the person’s back and offer them a drink of alcohol

    Correct Answer
    A. Encourage the person to lean forward and try to cough up the steak
    Explanation
    Encouraging the person to lean forward and try to cough up the steak is the correct answer because it follows the recommended first aid technique for choking. Leaning forward helps to facilitate the removal of the obstruction by using gravity, and coughing can help to dislodge the object from the airway. This approach is safer and more effective than the other options provided, which could potentially cause harm or further obstruct the airway.

    Painkillers that reduce swelling are called

    • NSAID 

    • BSAID 

    • CSAID 

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. NSAID 
    Explanation
    NSAIDs, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are painkillers that also reduce swelling. These medications work by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and pain. Examples of NSAIDs include ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen. BSAID and CSAID are not recognized terms in the medical field. Therefore, the correct answer is NSAID.

    If chemicals have splashed into your eyes, how long should you flush them with water?

    • At least 5 minutes

    • At least 10 minutes

    • At least 20 minutes

    • About half an hour

    Correct Answer
    A. At least 20 minutes
    Explanation
    When chemicals splash into the eyes, it is important to flush them with water to remove the chemicals and minimize damage. Flushing the eyes with water for at least 20 minutes helps to dilute and rinse away the chemicals effectively. This duration allows for thorough cleaning and ensures that all traces of the chemicals are removed from the eyes. Flushing for a shorter duration may not be sufficient to completely remove the chemicals, potentially leading to further harm or complications.

    What's the universal sign of choking?

    • Mouth open widely and tongue out

    • Hands clutched to the throat

    • Both A and B

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Hands clutched to the throat
    Explanation
    The universal sign of choking is when a person clutches their hands to their throat. This gesture is commonly recognized as a distress signal indicating that someone is having difficulty breathing due to an obstruction in their airway. The action of clutching the throat helps to communicate the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate assistance. It is important to be aware of this sign in order to identify and respond promptly to a choking emergency.

    Rate this question:

    If you lose a tooth and can't stick it back in the socket, you should immediately place it in _____.

    • Between your cheek and gum

    • In cold milk

    • Your own saliva

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    When you lose a tooth and cannot reattach it, it is important to preserve it properly until you can see a dentist. Placing the tooth between your cheek and gum keeps it moist and helps prevent it from drying out. Placing it in cold milk helps to maintain the tooth's moisture and prevent damage. Your own saliva also helps to keep the tooth moist and can be used as a temporary storage solution. Therefore, all of the above options are correct ways to preserve a lost tooth until you can seek professional dental care.

    • Airway, Breathing, Circulation

    • Airway, Breathing, Compression

    • Both A and B

    • Both B and C

    • A, B, and C

    Correct Answer
    A. Both A and B
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Both A and B." This is because the ABCs of CPR stand for Airway, Breathing, and Circulation. However, another commonly used variation is Airway, Breathing, and Compression. Therefore, both options A and B are correct representations of the ABCs of CPR.
