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

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

Open weave roller bandages are used to support joints:

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

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

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:

Cardiac arrest will always lead to unconsciousness:

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:

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

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:

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

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

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

Parts of the body can be used as splints:

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

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

Dressing should always be larger than the wound they cover:

A patient who is shouting has an open airway:

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

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:

A triangular bandage is always used in its triangular shape:

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

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

Cooling does not reduce pain in 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:

Shock and circulation failure are equivalent:

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

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

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

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

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

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:

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

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

A fractured spine will always imply unconsciousness:

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

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

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

A casualty with burns has less need for fluid:

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

A bandage is always applied to an open wound:

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

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

You should terminate resuscitation after 15 minutes:

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

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

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

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

A patient who breathes will always have a pulse rate?

Any major bleeding must be stopped before treating a wound:

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

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

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:

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.

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:

Bandages must be sterile before use:

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

Inspiration is mainly caused by muscle activity of the Diaphragm:

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

A haematoma can be caused by head injury:

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

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

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:

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:

Internal bleeding will never lead to circulation failure:

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

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

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

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

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

Cardiac arrest leads to circulation failure:

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

We have 3 circulatory systems for blood transportation:

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

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:

Head injury will lead to circulation failure:

Improvised splints can only be made of solid materials:
