ACTIVITY 1

1. The first thing that I would do during an emergency is to calm myself and assess the
situation. If I stay calm, I can clearly look into the situation and decide properly on what
to do during the emergency. After calming myself, I can now call 911 and tell them
what’s happening in the situation or even apply first aid to the injured people.
2. We cover wounds with clean or sterile dressing to hinder the introduction of bacteria
and to prevent it from getting infected.
3. A. Dressing- A dressing is a sterile pad or compress applied to a wound to promote
healing and protect the wound from further harm.
B. Bandage- is a piece of material used either to support a medical device such as a
dressing or splint, or on its own to provide support to or to restrict the movement of a
part of the body. When used with a dressing, the dressing is applied directly on a
wound, and a bandage used to hold the dressing in place.
C. Antibiotic ointment- is a medication used to reduce the risk of infections following
minor skin injuries and to treat superficial bacterial eye infections.
D. Plaster- ideal for protecting wounds from dirt and bacteria, allowing the wound to
heal.
E. Gloves- are a vital part of a first aid kit to reduce the risk of infection and cross-
contamination.
4. Danger- Check for anything dangerous so no one else gets hurt
Response- check if the person is conscious. Try to talk to them, touch their hand and
squeeze their shoulder.
Send for help- call for an assistance or help
Airway- check if the person’s airway is clear or if he/she is breathing.
Breathing- Monitor the breathing of the person until the rescue comes. Check for
breathing by looking at their chest movement and listening by putting your ear near
their nose and mouth.
CPR- perform CPR if the person is unconscious and not breathing.

ACTIVITY 3
1. Nervous System
a. Brain- this controls all the body functions. The rest of the nervous system
relays the message back and forth from the brain to the different parts of the
body.
b. Spinal cord- this is the pathway for the messages sent by the brain to the
different parts of the body and from the body to brain.
2. Respiratory System
a. Nose- it is the only visible part and the route for air entry of the respiratory
system.
b. Lungs- the center of the respiratory system. Its main function is to aid in the
diffusion of oxygen into blood capillaries, and CO2 out of the blood.
3. Circulatory System
a. Heart- is the key organ in the circulatory system. Its main function is to
propel blood throughout the body and carry oxygen to every cell.
b. Arteries- they carry blood away from the heart and toward other tissues and
organs.
4. Digestive System
a. Stomach- a hollow organ that holds food while it is being mixed with
stomach enzymes. These enzymes continue the process of breaking down
food into a usable form.
b. Small intestine- this carries out most of the digestive process, absorbing
almost all of the nutrients you get from foods into your bloodstream.
5. Urinary System
a. Kidney- it is responsible for maintaining the overall fluid balance, regulating
and filtering minerals from blood, filtering waste materials, and keeping the
right levels of electrolytes.
b. Bladder- stores urine allowing urination to be infrequent and controlled.
6. Reproductive System
a. Ovary- this produces the egg cells.
b. Testes- are responsible for making testosterone and for producing sperm.
7. Musculoskeletal System
a. Bones- these support the weight of the body.
b. Muscles- they keep the bones in places, and they assist with movement by
contracting and pulling on the bones.
8. Integumentary System
a. Skin- plays an important role in protection, sensing stimuli,
thermoregulation, and vitamin D synthesis.
b. Subcutaneous tissue- it increases the mobility of the skin, it thermally
insulates the body, acts as a shock absorber and is a source of energy.

ACTIVITY 1
1. Assessing the patient is important because it will help you identify the patient’s problem
and his medical needs.
2. A. Red tag- they are the first priority. These are the people who are in need of
immediate lifesaving interventions.
B. Yellow tag- for those who require observation. Their condition is stable for the
moment and, they are not in immediate danger of death. These victims will still need
hospital care and would be treated immediately under normal circumstances.
C. Green tag- (wait) are reserved for the "walking wounded" who will need medical care
at some point, after more critical injuries have been treated.
D. White tag- (dismiss) are given to those with minor injuries for whom a doctor's care is
not required.
E. Black tag- are used for the deceased and for those whose injuries are so extensive
that they will not be able to survive given the care that is available.
3. The main goal of primary survey is to identify and immediately correct life-threatening
problems.
4. Second assessment is done once the primary survey is completed. Its purpose is to
determine the injury, how the injury occurred, how sever the injury is, and to eliminate
further injury.
