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

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

A patient who is shouting has an open airway:

A casualty with burns has less need for fluid:

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

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:

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:

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

Breathing is controlled by the respiratory centre in the brain:

Internal bleeding will never lead to circulation failure:

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:

A patient who breathes will always have a pulse rate?

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

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:

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

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:

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

Cooling does not reduce pain in a sprain:

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

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

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

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

Dressing should always be larger than the wound they cover:

You should terminate resuscitation after 15 minutes:

Head injury will lead to circulation failure:

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

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

Bandages must be sterile before use:

A triangular bandage is always used in its triangular shape:

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

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

Cardiac arrest leads to circulation failure:

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

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

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

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

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:

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

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

Inspiration is mainly caused by muscle activity of the Diaphragm:

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

A haematoma can be caused by head injury:

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

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

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

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

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:

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

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.

Open weave roller bandages are used to support joints:

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

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

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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Any major bleeding must be stopped before treating a wound:

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:

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

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

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

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

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:

Parts of the body can be used as splints:

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:

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:

A fractured spine will always imply unconsciousness:

Improvised splints can only be made of solid materials:

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 bandage is always applied to an open wound:

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

Cardiac arrest will always lead to unconsciousness:
