But, How do you treat a minor cut or scrape?

Cuts from a sharp knife or a piece of glass are very common. They often occur while people are
preparing food, washing dishes, or even crafting. All it takes is a slip of the knife or a dish
breaking, and suddenly there’s blood. However, while these types of cuts are startling, most
can be safety treated at home.

Follow these steps to keep cuts clean and prevent infections and scars.

 Stop the bleeding. Put pressure on the cut with a gauze pad or clean cloth. Keep
the pressure on for a few minutes.
 Clean the wound. Once you’ve stopped the bleeding, rinse the cut under cool
running water or use a saline wound wash. Clean the area around the wound with
soap and a wet washcloth. Don’t get soap in the cut, because it can irritate the skin.
And don’t use hydrogen peroxide or iodine, which could irritate the cut.
 Apply antibiotic ointment to reduce the chance of infection.
 Apply sterile bandage or plaster on the wound to further protect it from infection.

Remember, most minor cuts heal in one week or less; however, if your cut is longer than
three-fourths of an inch, more than a quarter inch deep, or won’t stop bleeding, seek
immediate medical attention.

But, How do you treat fractures?

Good first-aid care of fractures is always important. Moving the broken bones can
increase pain and bleeding and can damage tissues around the injury. This can lead to
complications in the repair and healing of the injury later on.
If you suspect a bone fracture, you should
 Stop any bleeding. Apply pressure to the wound with sterile bandage, a clean
cloth or a clean piece of clothing.
 Immobilize the injured area. Always keep in mind not to move the injured
individual, and more importantly, do not realign the bone and push bone back in
place. It would be ideal to apply a splint in order to reduce discomfort.
 Apply ice packs. If there is swelling, it would be ideal to apply ice packs to
further ease their discomfort.
Remember, if the broken bone is the result of major trauma or injury, call 911 or your
local emergency number for help.
