    One cause of a seizure is a concussion?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A concussion can indeed cause a seizure. A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that occurs when the brain is jolted or shaken forcefully. This sudden impact can disrupt the normal electrical activity in the brain, leading to a seizure. Seizures are abnormal bursts of electrical activity in the brain that can cause a wide range of symptoms, including convulsions, loss of consciousness, and abnormal movements. Therefore, it is true that a concussion can be a cause of a seizure.

    What is an incision?

    • Jagged Tear

    • Straight Cut

    • Hole

    • Scrape

    Correct Answer
    A. Straight Cut
    Explanation
    An incision refers to a straight cut made on a surface, typically made with a sharp instrument such as a scalpel or a knife. It is a deliberate and controlled action, resulting in a clean and precise opening or wound. Unlike a jagged tear or a hole, an incision is characterized by its straightness and intentional nature. A scrape, on the other hand, involves the removal of superficial layers of skin due to friction or abrasion, which is different from an incision.

    Explanation
    A contusion refers to broken blood vessels. It is a type of injury where blood vessels beneath the skin are damaged or ruptured, leading to bleeding and discoloration of the skin. This can occur due to trauma or impact to a specific area of the body, causing the blood vessels to burst. Contusions are commonly known as bruises and can result in pain, swelling, and tenderness in the affected area.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    If a person is unconscious, it is important to assume that they need help and begin providing first aid. Pretending like they asked for help is a way to ensure that assistance is provided promptly. Unconsciousness can be a sign of a serious medical condition or injury, and immediate first aid can potentially save their life or prevent further harm. Therefore, it is crucial to take action without delay.

    A contusion is a broken blood vessel?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A contusion is a type of bruise, which occurs when there is damage to blood vessels beneath the skin. This damage causes blood to leak out and collect in the surrounding tissues, resulting in discoloration and swelling. Therefore, a contusion can be considered as a broken blood vessel, making the statement "A contusion is a broken blood vessel" true.

    If someone has a poisonous spider bite, which one of these answer choices should you do?

    • Keep part above heart

    • Keep part below heart

    • Keep part on the same height as the heart

    • Amputate part

    Correct Answer
    A. Keep part below heart
    Explanation
    When someone has a poisonous spider bite, it is recommended to keep the affected part below the heart. This helps to slow down the spread of venom throughout the body. By keeping the part below the heart, gravity assists in preventing the venom from reaching vital organs quickly. This can buy some time until medical help arrives or the person can be taken to a healthcare facility for proper treatment.

    Correct Answer
    A. Treat for shock
    Explanation
    The last step in treating a victim with a head injury is to treat for shock. This is because head injuries can often lead to shock, which is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body doesn't receive enough blood flow. Treating for shock involves keeping the victim warm, elevating their legs if possible, and covering them with a blanket to prevent heat loss. It is important to address shock promptly to prevent further complications and ensure the victim's safety.
