    • Move their head

    • Push as hard as you can on head

    Correct Answer
    A. Put pressure around wound
    Explanation
    To treat a scalp wound, it is important to put pressure around the wound. This helps to control bleeding and promote clotting, preventing excessive blood loss. Applying pressure with a clean cloth or bandage can help to staunch the bleeding and allow the wound to heal properly. Additionally, it is important to seek medical attention to assess the severity of the wound and determine if further treatment, such as stitches or antibiotics, is necessary.

    A concussion is not a brain injury

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A concussion is a type of brain injury. It occurs when there is a sudden jolt or blow to the head, causing the brain to move rapidly back and forth within the skull. This movement can result in temporary changes in brain function, such as confusion, memory loss, and even loss of consciousness. Therefore, the statement "a concussion is not a brain injury" is false.

    • A broken Foot

    • And Ichy arm

    • Deformity

    • A hang nail

    Correct Answer
    A. Deformity
    Explanation
    In the context of a spinal cord injury, one would typically look for deformity. This is because a spinal cord injury can often cause damage to the vertebrae or spinal column, leading to misalignment or abnormal curvature of the spine. Therefore, checking for any signs of deformity in the spinal area can help in diagnosing a potential spinal cord injury.

    If the person is unresponsive do you open the airway first?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In a situation where a person is unresponsive, it is important to open their airway first. This is because an unresponsive person may have their airway blocked, which can lead to a lack of oxygen and potentially be life-threatening. By opening the airway, it allows for the passage of air into the lungs, ensuring that the person can breathe properly. Once the airway is open, other necessary steps for providing first aid can be taken. Therefore, the statement "True" is the correct answer.

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Crying for no apparent reason can be a symptom of a brain injury. Brain injuries can cause emotional and behavioral changes, including uncontrolled crying or emotional outbursts. These changes may occur due to damage to the areas of the brain that regulate emotions. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that crying for no apparent reason is not a symptom of a brain injury.

    A bleeding scalp wound does affect blood supply to the brain.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A bleeding scalp wound does not affect blood supply to the brain. The scalp contains numerous blood vessels, but they are not directly connected to the blood vessels that supply the brain. Therefore, a bleeding scalp wound would not impact the blood supply to the brain.
