WORKSHEET FOR INTRODUCTION TO FIRST AID

Information is found within the course to complete this worksheet.

Information collected here will be needed to complete the final assessment

and should be kept as a record of your learning and to assist you in future
planning of activities.

Task 1 Scenarios first aid for burns

List everything you think you would need to do as the first person to arrive on
scene.

● Make sure you and the person who’s burned are safe and out of harm’s way.
Move them away from the source of the burn. If it’s an electrical burn, turn off the
power source before touching them.
● Check to see if they’re breathing. If needed, start rescue breathing if you’ve been
trained.
● Remove restrictive items from their body, such as belts and jewelry in or near the
burned areas. Burned areas typically swell quickly.
● Cover the burned area. Use a clean cloth or bandage that’s moistened with cool,
clean water.
● Separate fingers and toes. If hands and feet are burned, separate the fingers and
toes with dry and sterile, nonadhesive bandages.
● Remove clothing from burned areas, but don’t try to remove clothing that’s stuck
to the skin.
● Avoid immersing the person or burned body parts in water. Hypothermia (severe
loss of body heat) can occur if you immerse large, severe burns in water.
● Raise the burned area. If possible, elevate the burned area above their heart.
