    You should try to move or straighten a broken bone.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    If you suspect broken bones, it is advisable to let the casualty remain in the same position till expert help arrives.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which one of these is correct?

    • Care Call Check

    • Check Call Care

    • Control Check Care

    • Check Contact Care

    Correct Answer
    A. Check Call Care
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Check Call Care" because it follows a logical sequence of actions. First, you "check" the situation or problem, then you "call" for assistance or support, and finally, you "care" for the person or situation. This sequence makes sense in various contexts, such as emergency response, customer service, or medical assistance. Therefore, "Check Call Care" is the most appropriate and logical option among the given choices.

    All people who have seizures have epilepsy and all people who have epilepsy have seizures.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because not all people who have seizures have epilepsy. Seizures can be caused by various factors such as high fever, head injury, or drug/alcohol withdrawal. Epilepsy, on the other hand, is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. Therefore, while all people with epilepsy have seizures, not all people with seizures have epilepsy.

    First-aid treatment for chemical burns usually involves:

    • Applying petroleum jelly

    • Flushing the affected skin or eyes with water for 15 minutes

    • Elevating the burned body part for an hour

    Correct Answer
    A. Flushing the affected skin or eyes with water for 15 minutes
    Explanation
    Chemical burns occur when the skin or eyes come into contact with harmful chemicals. Flushing the affected area with water for 15 minutes is the correct first-aid treatment for chemical burns. This helps to remove any remaining chemicals from the skin or eyes and dilute the concentration of the chemical. Flushing with water should be done immediately after the burn occurs and should continue for a full 15 minutes to ensure thorough rinsing. This treatment helps to minimize the damage caused by the chemical and can provide relief from pain and discomfort. Applying petroleum jelly or elevating the burned body part is not the recommended first-aid treatment for chemical burns.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    If someone is having an emergency and you ask if you can help and they say no, you should still give care.

  • 8. 

    If someone gets an electrical burn or is struck by lightning the first thing you should do is tap them on the shoulder and say "are you okay?"

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The correct answer is False because if someone gets an electrical burn or is struck by lightning, it is important to prioritize their safety and seek immediate medical attention. Tapping them on the shoulder and asking if they are okay is not an appropriate or effective response in such situations.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which comes first when someone is choking after you have recieved consent?

    • Abdominal Thrusts

    • Back Blows

    • Hip Toss

    Correct Answer
    A. Back Blows
    Explanation
    After receiving consent, the first step when someone is choking is to perform back blows. Back blows are a technique used to dislodge an obstruction from the airway by striking the person's back between the shoulder blades with the heel of your hand. This can help to force the object out and restore normal breathing. Abdominal thrusts and hip toss are not the initial steps for choking and should be performed if back blows are unsuccessful in clearing the airway.

    • Swelling

    • Sweating

    • Just A and B

    Correct Answer
    A. All if the Above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the Above." When someone has been bitten by an insect and is having a reaction, they may experience swelling, sweating, and a visible puncture mark. These signs are common reactions to insect bites and can help identify that a person has been bitten.

    The most serious burns, which can destroy skin and even underlying tissue, are:

    • First-degree burns

    • Second-degree burns

    • Third-degree burns

    Correct Answer
    A. Third-degree burns
    Explanation
    Third-degree burns are the most serious burns because they can destroy both the skin and underlying tissue. Unlike first-degree and second-degree burns, which only affect the outer layers of the skin, third-degree burns penetrate through all layers of the skin and can cause extensive damage. These burns are often painless because they destroy nerve endings. Treatment for third-degree burns usually involves skin grafts and long-term medical care to promote healing and prevent infection.

    Explanation
    The best course of action when someone cuts off their finger while using a circular saw is to put the finger in a baggie with ice. This helps to preserve the finger and prevent further damage. Wrapping the wound with bandages helps to control bleeding and protect the injured area.

    • Get them some coffee or hot tea

    • Get them in a warm tub bath

    • Get their wet clothes and jewlery off

    Correct Answer
    A. Get their wet clothes and jewlery off
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to get their wet clothes and jewelry off. When someone has frostbite, it is important to remove any wet clothing or jewelry as they can further contribute to heat loss. Wet materials conduct heat away from the body more quickly, worsening the condition. Removing these items helps to prevent further damage and allows for proper evaluation and treatment of the affected areas.

    Welcome to the first aid annual review course.  All of you have had first-aid one or more times as a condition of employment with Dungarvin.  This course will be best used to remind you of all the things you already know to help those in your care in an emergency situation. Note: This is not an American Red Cross certified course, just a Dungarvin based review to meet our conditions of employment.There are several reasons or barriers that people won't act in an emergency.  They include:
    • Being afraid of doing something wrong
    • Not being sure of what the emergency is
    • Figuring that someone else will take action
    • Concern one may get a disease
    • Not being sure of when to call 911/EMS
    • Worry that one might be sued.
    In regards to being sued one must remember the rules of THE GOOD SAMARITAN LAW.
    • You must ask permission.
    • Move a person only if they are in danger of being hurt.
    • Always call 911
    • Continue to give care until someone else arrives to assist or take over.
    • If a person says they don't want care, you DO NOT GIVE CARE but still call 911
    • If a person goes unconscious, even if they have previously denied care when conscious, you may give care as it is presumed you would.
    There are only four reasons one would stop giving care in any emergent situation.
    • Someone starts breathing or some other sign notates they are ok.
    • Another person takes over for you.
    • You can't continue because you’re exhausted.
    • The environment becomes unsafe for you, them or both of you.
    The American Red Cross reminds you to Check/Call/Care
    • Check the scene to be sure it is safe
    • Call the EMS system (911)
    • Care for the individual.
    Remember to ask yourself the following questions when you find someone in need of care.
    • Is there danger?
    • What happened?
    • What is wrong?
    • Can anyone else help?
    When you check a conscious person ask them
    • What Happened?
    • What is their pain or discomfort?
    • Do they have any allergies?
    • Any medical conditions or medications?
    Be sure to check them from head to toe. 

  • 24. 

    If someone is choking please follow these steps:
    • Ask if you can assist.
    • If they agree, go behind them with your arm covering the front of the body so they don't fall.
    • Keep your legs slightly bent to assure balance.
    • Do 5 back blows between their shoulder blades with your palm.
    • If that doesn't stop the choking do abdominal thrusts.
    • Stand behind them, locate the navel with two fingers, ball into a fist, grab the fist with your other hand and do upward thrusts to the abdomen.
