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

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:

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

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:

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

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

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

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

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

Improvised splints can only be made of solid materials:

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

Cardiac arrest leads to circulation failure:

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

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

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

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

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:

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.

Any major bleeding must be stopped before treating a wound:

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

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

A patient who is shouting has an open airway:

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:

Oxygen treatment is most important with injury to the head/neck/spine:

A triangular bandage is always used in its triangular shape:

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

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:

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

A casualty with burns has less need for fluid:

You should terminate resuscitation after 15 minutes:

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

Cooling does not reduce pain in a sprain:

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

A haematoma can be caused by head injury:

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

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

Shock and circulation failure are equivalent:

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:

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

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:

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

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:

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

A fractured spine will always imply unconsciousness:

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

A bandage is always applied to an open wound:

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

Open weave roller bandages are used to support joints:

Bandages must be sterile before use:

Dressing should always be larger than the wound they cover:

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

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:

Parts of the body can be used as splints:

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

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

We have 3 circulatory systems for blood transportation:

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:

Food poisoning may be caused by eating food, that is contaminated by bacteria or by toxins produced by bacteria, that were already in the food:

Breathing is controlled by the respiratory centre in the brain:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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:

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

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

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

Cardiac arrest will always lead to unconsciousness:

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

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