    Correct Answer
    A. Control bleeding by applying direct pressure and raising the injured part, cover the wound with a sterile dressing and arrange to take the casualty to hospital.
    Explanation
    If you are bitten by a dog and the wound is serious, the correct course of action is to control bleeding by applying direct pressure and raising the injured part. This helps to minimize blood loss. Next, cover the wound with a sterile dressing to protect it from further contamination and infection. Finally, arrange to take the casualty to the hospital for further medical attention and treatment. Sucking out the blood is not recommended as it may introduce more bacteria into the wound. Waiting for help to arrive may delay necessary medical treatment.

    Explanation
    It is important to wash the wound thoroughly with warm water and soap to clean it and prevent infection. Patting the wound with a clean gauze swab helps to dry it gently without causing further damage. Covering the wound with a sterile dressing helps to protect it from dirt and bacteria. Advising the casualty to see a doctor is important in case inoculation is needed to prevent diseases that can be transmitted by the dog.

Sucking out the blood is not recommended as it may cause further damage and increase the risk of infection.

    Explanation

Then, the injured part should be placed in water as hot as the casualty can bear for at least 30 minutes.

This approach aims to alleviate pain, reduce the risk of infection, and ensure proper medical treatment for the injury.

Additionally, lightly compressing the limb above the wound with a roller bandage can help slow the spread of venom through the lymphatic system. This can buy some time until medical help arrives. Cutting the wound and letting the blood flow out is not recommended as it can increase the risk of infection. Sucking out the blood to remove the venom is also not recommended as it can introduce bacteria into the wound and potentially harm the person doing the sucking.

    How should you remove ticks from your body?

    • Use a fine point tweezer and pull it out by using the “to and fro” action.

    • Use a needle and pin it to remove and apply some medicine.

    • Wash it with plenty of water and get medical treatment directly.

    Correct Answer
    A. Use a fine point tweezer and pull it out by using the “to and fro” action.
    Explanation
    Using a fine point tweezer and pulling the tick out with a "to and fro" action is the correct way to remove ticks from the body. This method ensures that the tick is completely removed, including the mouthparts which can remain embedded in the skin if not removed properly. It is important to use a tweezer with a fine point to grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible and avoid squeezing or crushing the tick. The "to and fro" action helps to loosen the tick's grip on the skin, making it easier to remove without leaving any parts behind.
