1. Once the wound is clean and not bleeding, apply a bit of __________ ___________ on it to
keep out the germs.

Explanation

Antiseptic cream is the correct answer because it is specifically designed to prevent infection by killing or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms on the skin. Once the wound is clean and not bleeding, applying antiseptic cream helps to create a barrier against germs, reducing the risk of infection and promoting healing. Muscle cream, facial cream, and ice cream are not suitable for this purpose as they do not have the same antibacterial properties as antiseptic cream.

2. For small bleeding wounds, you should wash your hands, cover any cuts on your own
hands and ______________ if you are applying first aid to someone else. This is
to avoid their blood contaminating yours for your own safety.

Explanation

When applying first aid to someone else with small bleeding wounds, it is important to put on disposable gloves. This is necessary to create a barrier between your hands and the person's blood in order to prevent any potential contamination. Wearing gloves helps to ensure your own safety and minimize the risk of infection or transmission of any bloodborne pathogens.

Submit
3. The casualty needs to see the ________ if a nosebleed goes on for more than 15
minutes or if it occurs after an injury, such as a punch in the face, especially if a
broken nose is suspected.

Explanation

If a nosebleed goes on for more than 15 minutes or occurs after an injury, such as a punch in the face, it may indicate a more serious condition, such as a broken nose. In such cases, it is important for the casualty to see a doctor who can properly assess the situation and provide appropriate medical treatment.

Submit
4. Always change dressings every ____ hours. Wash the area gently with soap and
water, apply antiseptic cream and cover with a bandage. Also, change the bandage
immediately if it gets dirty or wet. Keeping a wound clean is the best way to
avoid infection.

Explanation

It is important to change dressings every 12 hours in order to keep the wound clean and prevent infection. This allows for regular cleaning of the area with soap and water, application of antiseptic cream, and covering with a fresh bandage. Additionally, if the bandage becomes dirty or wet, it should be changed immediately to maintain cleanliness and prevent the growth of bacteria.

Submit
5. If you get a muscle cramp while exercising, you should __________.

Explanation

If you get a muscle cramp while exercising, it is important to stop exercising. Muscle cramps are involuntary contractions of muscles that can be painful and can cause further injury if ignored. Continuing to exercise may put additional strain on the affected muscle and increase the risk of more severe cramps or muscle damage. Stopping exercising allows the muscle to relax and recover, reducing the discomfort and minimizing the chances of further complications.

Submit
6. For a nose bleed, ask the casualty to lean ________ slightly.

Explanation

Leaning back or tilting the
head back allows the blood to run back into your sinuses and throat, causing you
to swallow your own blood; thus, inducing vomiting and diarrhoea.

Submit
7. Hold the pressure continuously on the bleeding wound for approximately 10-20
minutes with a __________ until bleeding stops.

Explanation

To stop bleeding from a wound, it is important to apply continuous pressure. Cotton swabs, clothes, and tissue paper may not provide enough absorbency or stability to effectively control the bleeding. However, a gauze pad is specifically designed for wound care, as it is absorbent and provides a stable surface to apply pressure. Therefore, using a gauze pad is the most suitable option for holding pressure on a bleeding wound until the bleeding stops.

Submit
8. Most cramps can be stopped if the muscle is ______________________________ depending on the muscles affected.

Explanation

When a muscle cramp occurs, gently stretching the muscle can help alleviate the pain. However, it is important to do so until there is less pain, rather than more pain. Stretching the muscle too forcefully or beyond the point of pain can potentially worsen the cramp or cause further injury. Therefore, the correct approach is to gently stretch the muscle until there is less pain.

Submit
9. Use ___________ to pat dry the wound.

Explanation

A gauze pad is the best option for patting dry a wound because it is sterile and absorbent. Gauze pads are designed specifically for wound care and are made of a material that won't stick to the wound, allowing for gentle drying without causing further damage or irritation. Cotton swabs, clothes, and tissue paper may not be as effective or hygienic for wound care purposes.

Submit
10. Cover the wound with a plaster or ___________ to help prevent infection and
dirt from getting in the wound.

Explanation

A roller bandage is a long strip of cloth or gauze that can be wrapped around a wound to provide protection and support. It helps to cover the wound completely, preventing infection and keeping dirt out. Unlike clothes or tissue paper, a roller bandage is specifically designed for medical purposes and is sterile, making it more effective in preventing infection. A triangular bandage is typically used for immobilizing fractures or creating slings, so it is not the best option for covering a wound.

Submit
11. For a nose bleed, ask the casualty to ________________.

Explanation

In case of a nose bleed, asking the casualty to sit down is the most appropriate action. Sitting down helps to prevent dizziness and reduces the risk of falling or injuring oneself. It also helps to keep the head elevated, which can help to minimize the bleeding. Additionally, sitting down allows the casualty to stay calm and relaxed, which can aid in controlling the bleeding.

Submit
12. ______________________________ . Be sure to rinse the entire depth of the cut, and
rinse the soap from the surface thoroughly. Water sometimes has a tendency to
sting. Saline solution (0.9% salt solution) can be a little easier on tender skin.

Submit
13. If the cramp is caused by a lack of water, drinking ____________________ can help,
especially in vigorous physical activity. Fluid (water) and electrolyte (especially
sodium and potassium) replacement is important. Sports beverages (such as 100
Plus, etc...) rather than water may help prevent electrolyte imbalances such as low
sodium levels.

Explanation

Drinking enough water can help alleviate cramps caused by dehydration. During vigorous physical activity, the body loses water through sweat, leading to a lack of hydration. By drinking enough water, the body can replenish the lost fluids and maintain proper hydration levels. This can prevent electrolyte imbalances, such as low sodium levels, which can contribute to cramping. Sports beverages may also be helpful as they contain electrolytes like sodium and potassium, which further aid in hydration and prevent imbalances.

Submit
14. If possible, ____________________________________________ as gravity helps to reduce
swelling and ease pain by draining excess fluid. At night, place a pillow under the
area to support and raise it.

Explanation

Raising the affected area above the heart is the correct answer because gravity helps to reduce swelling and ease pain by draining excess fluid. By elevating the affected area above the heart, blood and fluid flow away from the area, reducing swelling and promoting healing. Placing a pillow under the area at night helps to support and raise it, further aiding in the reduction of swelling.

Submit
15. If the injury causes pain or swelling, place crushed ice in a plastic bag and wrap
with a moist towel and apply on injury for 10 minutes ____________________________
while awake as soon as possible after injury. It keeps blood and fluid from
building up in the injured area. Use an elastic bandage to hold the pack in place
for convenience.

16. Advise the casualty to rest quietly for a few hours. Tell them not to ________ their
nose, because these actions will disturb blood clots.

Explanation

Blowing their nose can disturb blood clots, leading to further bleeding or complications. Therefore, advising the casualty not to blow their nose is important to prevent any potential harm.

Submit
17. Remove any foreign material, such as dirt or bits of grass, that might be in the
wound and which can lead to infection. You may use ______________________________ to remove foreign material from the wound edges, but do not dig
into the wound as this may push bacteria deeper into the wound.

Explanation

Using tweezers that have been cleaned with alcohol is the correct answer because it helps to remove foreign material from the wound edges. Alcohol is a disinfectant that can help kill bacteria and prevent infection. Cleaning the tweezers with alcohol before using them further reduces the risk of introducing bacteria into the wound. Scissors can also be used, but cleaning them with soap or alcohol is necessary to maintain cleanliness and prevent infection.

Submit
18. In athletics, future muscle cramps can be prevented by always warming up and
stretching well (especially the muscle groups prone to cramping) __________ workouts.
Your doctor can show you stretching exercises that can help you reduce your
chances of getting muscle cramps.

Explanation

Warming up and stretching before workouts can help prevent future muscle cramps in athletics. By preparing the muscles and increasing blood flow, it helps to reduce the likelihood of cramping during physical activity. Additionally, consulting with a doctor for specific stretching exercises can further decrease the chances of experiencing muscle cramps.

Submit
19. Applying a ___________ pad on cramp will help circulate blood flow in the cramp.

Explanation

Applying a heating pad on a cramp will help circulate blood flow in the cramp. Heat promotes vasodilation, which widens the blood vessels and allows for increased blood flow to the affected area. This increased blood flow can help relax the muscles, reduce pain, and promote healing. Additionally, heat can help to soothe the cramp by providing a comforting sensation and reducing muscle tension.

Submit
20. Use the thumb and index finger to squeeze together the soft portion of the nose,
which is located _____________________________________________________ that forms
the bridge of the nose. Keep holding the nose for 10 minutes.
