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

Breathing is controlled by the respiratory centre in the brain:

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

You should terminate resuscitation after 15 minutes:

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

Any major bleeding must be stopped before treating a wound:

Cardiac arrest will always lead to unconsciousness:

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:

Improvised splints can only be made of solid materials:

Parts of the body can be used as splints:

Dressing should always be larger than the wound they cover:

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

A patient who breathes will always have a pulse rate?

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

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

Inspiration is mainly caused by muscle activity of the Diaphragm:

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

Head injury will lead to circulation failure:

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

Open weave roller bandages are used to support joints:

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

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:

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:

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

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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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:

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

You should only use double nose catheters when treating two patients on one oxygen bottle:

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

A person under influence of alcohol will suffer from frost injuries quicker than a sober person:

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

Cooling does not reduce pain in a sprain:

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:

A triangular bandage is always used in its triangular shape:

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:

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

A casualty with burns has less need for fluid:

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

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:

We have 3 circulatory systems for blood transportation:

Shock and circulation failure are equivalent:

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

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

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

A patient who is shouting has an open airway:

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

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

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:

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

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

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

You can threat a person with heat exhaustion by giving him salt and water:

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

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

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

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

Grease and oil must never be used in connection with oxygen bottles, couplings and valves:

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

An internal abdominal bleeding is not dangerous as it will stop bleeding by itself due to the increased pressure in the abdomen:

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

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:

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:

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

All fires will burn easier and faster in an oxygen-rich environment. Therefore, do not use oxygen bottles near an open fire. Smoking is not allowed.

A haematoma can be caused by head injury:

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

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

You should always wash your hands before preparing food. Wear protective gloves or waterproof plasters if you have cuts on your hands:

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

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:

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

Bandages must be sterile before use:

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

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