    Your father has cut his finger in the kitchen and is bleeding profusely. How do you treat his injury? - ProProfs

    Your father has cut his finger in the kitchen and is bleeding profusely. How do you treat his injury?

    •  Apply direct pressure over the wound

    • Give him an aspirin

    • Apply salt on the wound

    •  Put the injured limb in some cold water

    Correct Answer
    A.  Apply direct pressure over the wound
    Explanation
    In the given scenario, the correct answer is to apply direct pressure over the wound. Applying direct pressure helps to control bleeding by promoting the clotting process. It is a simple and effective first aid technique that can be done immediately to prevent excessive blood loss. Giving aspirin or applying salt on the wound are not appropriate actions in this situation. Putting the injured limb in cold water may provide temporary relief but does not address the bleeding issue.

    Explanation
    The World Health Organisation defines an emergency as the state in which normal procedures are interrupted, and immediate measures need to be taken to prevent that state turning into a disaster. This means that when there is a situation that disrupts normal operations and has the potential to escalate into a catastrophe, immediate actions must be taken to mitigate the situation. The World Health Organisation is a global authority on public health and has the expertise and resources to respond to emergencies and coordinate efforts to prevent them from becoming disasters.

    You’re walking home and you see a man lying on the ground. You ask him if he’s all right but he doesn’t respond. What should you do next?

    • Call 911

    • Leave him and assume someone else will help him

    • Pour water on his face

    •  Check his airway to ensure its open

    Correct Answer
    A.  Check his airway to ensure its open
    Explanation
    In this situation, the most appropriate action would be to check the man's airway to ensure it is open. This is important because if the airway is blocked, the person may not be able to breathe properly, which could be life-threatening. By checking the airway, you can assess if there is any obstruction and take appropriate measures to clear it or seek medical help if necessary. Calling 911 may also be necessary, but it is important to first ensure the person's airway is open to prevent any further harm. Pouring water on his face or assuming someone else will help him are not appropriate actions in this situation.

    If someone is having a nose bleed, your priority is to control the bleeding and

    •  keep their airway open

    • Perform the heimlich

    • Hug them

    • Call 911

    Correct Answer
    A.  keep their airway open
    Explanation
    In the case of someone having a nosebleed, it is important to prioritize controlling the bleeding and keeping their airway open. This is because a nosebleed can potentially lead to blood flowing down the throat and obstructing the airway, causing difficulty in breathing. By keeping the airway open, the person's ability to breathe is ensured, reducing the risk of any further complications.

    Which of the following is not a principle of emergency management?

    • Progressive

    • Obsolete

    • Flexible

    • Professional

    Correct Answer
    A. Obsolete
    Explanation
    The principle of emergency management that is not listed in the options is "Obsolete." This principle refers to the importance of staying up-to-date with the latest knowledge, technology, and strategies in emergency management. It emphasizes the need to discard outdated methods and embrace new and more effective approaches. By being progressive, flexible, and professional, emergency managers can better adapt to changing circumstances and improve their response to emergencies.

    You’re having lunch with your mother and she begins to choke on some food. She can’t speak, breathe or cough it up. How can you help?

    •  Give up to five back blows between her shoulder blades

    • Call 911

    •  Do the Heimlich manoeuvre on her

    • Put your fingers down her throat to try to dislodge the obstruction

    Correct Answer
    A.  Give up to five back blows between her shoulder blades
    Explanation
    In this situation, giving up to five back blows between her shoulder blades is the correct answer. This technique, known as the back blows, can help dislodge the obstruction from the airway by using the force of the blows to create enough pressure to expel the object. It is important to avoid putting fingers down her throat as it may push the object further and worsen the situation. Calling 911 is also recommended to ensure professional medical help arrives as soon as possible. The Heimlich maneuver may be used if the back blows do not work.

    Your colleague is complaining of breathlessness and a tight pain in the chest. You suspect a heart attack. What should you do?

    • Get him to lay down flat

    • Encourage him to stand up and move around slowly

    • Sit him in a comfortable position

    • Call 911

    Correct Answer
    A. Sit him in a comfortable position
    Explanation
    In the case of suspected heart attack, it is recommended to sit the person in a comfortable position. This is because sitting helps to reduce the workload on the heart and can alleviate symptoms. It also allows the person to rest and be in a position that is less likely to cause further strain or discomfort. Additionally, sitting upright can help with breathing and reduce the risk of fainting. However, it is important to call 911 immediately for emergency medical assistance.

    Emergency management is a related term but should not be equated to - ProProfs

    Emergency management is a related term but should not be equated to

    • First aid

    • Emergency response

    • People management

    • Disaster management

    Correct Answer
    A. Disaster management
    Explanation
    Emergency management is a broader term that encompasses various aspects of preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation for emergencies or disasters. While first aid and emergency response are important components of emergency management, they do not encompass the entire scope of disaster management. People management, on the other hand, refers to the coordination and organization of individuals during emergencies but does not cover all the necessary actions and strategies involved in disaster management. Therefore, disaster management is the most appropriate term to describe the comprehensive approach to addressing and managing disasters.

By integrating emergency planning into the overall design of cities and settlements, it ensures that communities are better equipped to handle and recover from emergencies.
