Online-Test: Test about First Medical Aid (CBT)

The respiration system of a person suffering from flame burns is very exposed to damage:

There is nothing more you can do to prevent food poisoning, than ensure that frozen poultry and meat are fully defrosted before it is cooked. Cook meat, poultry, fish, and eggs thoroughly to kill harmful bacteria. Never keep food lukewarm for long periods; bacteria can multiply without obvious signs of spoilage:

The walls in the blood vessels are completely resistant to diffusion:

A haematoma can be caused by head injury:

If you are unable to give a patient with an increased circulation failure due to bleeding, intravenous treatment, he should promptly be given plenty to drink to replace lost fluid:

Internal bleeding will never lead to circulation failure:

The main goal of splinting is to render a pulling strain on the fractured bone ends, in order to prevent them from touching each over:

Head injury will lead to circulation failure:

When treating an injury obtained by falling, it is of great importance to check the motor function in the extremities:

Most adults will endure a loss of blood of 1 litre:

What is the most serious damage to the tissue concerning damage by pressure?

Heat cramps seldom occurs after excessive sweating precipitated by strenuous exercise:

A patient who is shouting has an open airway:

Bandages must be sterile before use:

The motor function and circulation distal to the fracture should always be assessed:

Parts of the body can be used as splints:

Once a bandage is in place it should be left alone:

When we deal with food poisoning your aims are to encourage the casualty to rest, to seek medical advice or aid, and to give the casualty plenty of bland fluids to drink:

When there is an electrical burn there is a great danger of internal injuries:

A casualty with burns has less need for fluid:

R-I-C-E treatment has no effect if postponed more than 4 hours after the injury took place:

A spine/neck injury will always have priority over every other injury due to the risk of paralysis:

If a patient has heat exhaustion, the symptoms are weakness, vertigo, headache and nausea. Initially the skin is cool and clammy.

A patient who breathes will always have a pulse rate?

Bleeding will always occur together with a fracture, that breaks the skin:

Spillage of corrosive chemicals is poisonous and can also result in burns:

To render correct first aid one should be certain that there is a fracture before treating the patient:

The respiration system, above all, reacts to carbon dioxide levels in the blood:

A bandage is always applied to an open wound:

A person suffering from a moderate to hard blow to the head, should always be under close observation in the early hours after the accident, considering possible development of edema in the head:

Symptoms of serious head injury are unconsciousness, low pulse rate and high blood pressure:

Normal resting rate of pulse in a healthy adult is about 2-3 beats per second:

You should not supply oxygen when resuscitating, as this will only disturb the treatment. It is however important to do so immediately after the resuscitation has ended:

To protect a burn injury, we should never remove the patients clothing:

One of the main tasks of the blood is to transport oxygen to body’s cells:

Oxygen bottles should be handled with care and should be removed if they are exposed to heat:

Flush away any residual chemical on the skin with plenty of cold water. Be sure, that the water does not flush away from the casualty’s body:

An unconscious patient suffering from a major spine injury should not be placed in recovery position, as this may increase the damage and lead to paralysis:

A triangular bandage is always used in its triangular shape:

A patient with a major burn is liable to develop circulation failure:

When an ambulance or more qualified personnel arrives at the scene, there is no need to tell them about the poisonous chemical inhaled since they will find out themselves:

Your aims are to maintain the airway, breathing and circulation, to remove any contaminated clothing, to identify the poison and to obtain medical aid:

When dealing with a heat stroke your aims are to lower the casualty’s body temperature as quickly as possible, and to arrange removal of the casualty to hospital. Do NOT use iced water as they may constrict blood vessels:

We have 3 circulatory systems for blood transportation:

The red blood cells are responsible for the transportation of oxygen:

If there are signs of tendon damage, the tendon must be sutured by a surgeon before closing the wound. If so, put on a dressing until qualified treatment can be administered:

Inspiration is mainly caused by muscle activity of the Diaphragm:

A seriously hypothermic patient should as soon as possible be placed in a warm bath (>50 °C) to regain normal body heat:

A good splint should prevent adequate blood circulation and compress nerves, so the casualty will not feel any pain:

Cooling does not reduce pain in a sprain:

Cardiac arrest leads to circulation failure:

A limb with an external bleeding should be lowered to maintain circulation in order to supply the cells with oxygen and prevent cell death:

Shock and circulation failure are equivalent:

None of the tissue cells will die, only damaged when the casualty has a crush injury:

The position and direction of entry and exit wounds will alert you to the likely extent of hidden injury, and to the degree of shock that may ensue:

Breathing is controlled by the respiratory centre in the brain:

Cardiac arrest will always lead to unconsciousness:

There are, at least, four distinct signs of fracture:

What is the most important treatment concerning a foreign body in the eye?

Respiration while resting is normal if the frequency increases to more than 20 ventilations per minute:

You should terminate resuscitation after 15 minutes:

Damage to the spinal cord will always result in immediate neurological malfunction:

It is the increased pressure in the head that is fatal, not the bleeding itself:

Visible shortening of a limb is not necessarily a sign of a fracture:

When performing C-P-R it is advisable to elevate the patient’s legs to secure sufficient blood to the chest and head:

Do not touch anything that is sticking to, or embedded in, the eyeball, or over the coloured part of the eye, when treating a person with a foreign body in the eye:

A large dose of muscle relaxing medicaments can cause respiratory problems due to the reduced activity in the respiratory muscles:

Abdominal thrust is applied to remove foreign objects in the airway:

It may be difficult to tell if there is a fracture or a sprain:

The brain of hypothermic patients will consume less oxygen than usual:

A sudden fall in blood pressure does not normally lead to circulation failure:

A fractured spine will always imply unconsciousness:

Improvised splints can only be made of solid materials:

Heat-stroke can occur suddenly, causing unconsciousness within minutes. This may be signaled by the casualty feeling uneasy and ill.

Moderate and deep hypothermia cause very unstable condition, and the patient must be inactive and treated very carefully:

Cooling of a third degree burn should be terminated after 15 minutes:

Open weave roller bandages are used to support joints:

Dressing should always be larger than the wound they cover:

A chemical burn from fluid must be bandaged firmly to prevent fluid from covering greater parts of the skin:
