Discuss how to provide first aid and life support to the following: 50 points, 10
points for each item
a. broken arm;
A broken or cracked bone is called a fracture. In open fractures, the
broken bone can penetrate the surface of the skin. However, in a closed
fracture, the skin around the fracture is intact. However, fractures are
unstable and can cause internal bleeding or go into shock. If the fracture
is open, cover the wound with a sterile bandage or clean, lint-free cloth.
Apply pressure around the wound rather than the protruding bone to
control bleeding. Then secure the bandage with a bandage. Instruct the
victim to remain still while holding the injured part still. To do this, hold the
joint above and below the injured area. Pad the injury for extra support.
After that, call 911 for emergency assistance. Do not move the injured
person until the injured part is immobilized unless there is imminent
danger. Upper extremity fractures can be fixed with slings and lower
extremity fractures with wide bandages. Treat shock as needed, but don't
raise your leg if you suspect a broken leg or pelvic or hip injury. Watch
until help arrives.
b. head injury through fall;
The hard skull and facial bones protect the soft organ, the brain. When the
skull is damaged, the brain becomes more vulnerable. When someone
taps their head, the brain can move and hit the skull or facial bones. This
kind of injury can cause swelling and even bleeding in the brain. Calm
down the person. The injured person should lie down with the head and
shoulders slightly raised. Do not move people unless necessary. Try not to
move the person's neck. If you are wearing a helmet, do not remove it.
Stop bleeding. Apply firm pressure to the wound with sterile gauze or a
clean cloth. However, if you suspect a skull fracture, do not apply direct
pressure to the wound. Notice changes in breathing and attention. If the
person shows no signs of circulation (no breathing, coughing, or
movement), begin CPR.
c. gunshot wound on the chest;
In most cases, you don't have to deal with gunshot wounds. Some
paramedics even go through life without treatment. However, prompt
medical attention can prevent a gunshot wound from becoming fatal. If
you've ever faced a shooting emergency, it's important to be prepared.
When you or someone around you is shot. Please go to a safe place. If
the injured person can walk or walk, help them to safety. For accidental
shots, make sure your gun is safe. Stopping bleeding is an important part
of treating a gunshot wound. Scratch resistant pressure: When the blood
comes out of the hole, put a lot of pressure on it. If the bleeding is profuse,
don't be afraid to lean against the wound with your knee. Bandages help
blood clots and close wounds. Use gauze, towels, shirts, whatever is
available. A professional tourniquet works well. But using them properly
takes practice. When used correctly, it can be uncomfortable or even
painful.
d. bitten by dog;
Animal bites and scratches that break the skin can lead to infection. Some
bites require suturing, while others heal on their own. Rabies, a life-
threatening infection, can occur in rare cases from wild animal bites. Wash
the bitten area with soap and water. If the bite is bleeding, apply pressure
with sterile gauze or a clean cloth. Once the bleeding has stopped, apply
an antibiotic ointment to the affected area. Cover the affected area with a
bandage or sterile gauze. Give acetaminophen or ibuprofen if your child is
in pain.
e. Scalding
Burns are caused by contact with moist heat, such as steam or hot tea.
The longer the burn lasts, the more severe the damage. Your priority is to
cool the burndown as quickly as possible. Burns and burns should be
cooled as soon as possible. Keep it under cold running water for at least
20 minutes or until the pain improves. Cold milk or canned drinks can be
used if water is not available. Remove jewelry and clothing before it
swells, unless it is attached to the burn. After the burn has cooled, cover it
loosely vertically with plastic wrap. Do not wrap the burned area with
plastic wrap as it needs space to expand. If the burn is on your feet or
hands, you can use a clean plastic bag. Do not use ice, cream or gel.
They can cause damage and increase the risk of infection. Do not burst
the blister as this can lead to infection. watch over the injured. Please see
a doctor.
2. Create your own basic first aid plan at home. Discuss and explain your plan. (50
points)
First aid is first aid for sick or injured people. In some cases, it may be the only
care the patient needs. In other cases, first aid is a way to prevent a person's
condition from deteriorating and keep them alive until paramedics arrive or they
are taken to a hospital. My Basic Home First Aid Plan Evaluate Then apply basic
first aid techniques and finally share the details of the incident. If someone is
unconscious or unresponsive, the ABCs are the basic first aid principles you
need to know. airway, breathing, circulation. When someone is not breathing, the
first thing they need to do is clear their airways. If there is no breathing even after
securing the airway, perform ventilation. During artificial respiration, perform
chest compressions to maintain circulation. If you are breathing but
unresponsive, check your pulse. If the heart has stopped, give chest
compressions. Treat injuries early. A first aid kit helps you deal with medical
emergencies as quickly as possible. In an emergency, even a minute's delay can
