Online testing: Test about First Medical Aid (CBT)

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

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

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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cooling does not reduce pain in a sprain:

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:

A patient who breathes will always have a pulse rate?

Bandages must be sterile before use:

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

Head injury will lead to circulation failure:

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:

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

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

You should terminate resuscitation after 15 minutes:

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

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

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

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

Open weave roller bandages are used to support joints:

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

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:

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 with a major burn is liable to develop circulation failure:

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

Improvised splints can only be made of solid materials:

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

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

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:

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

Shock and circulation failure are equivalent:

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

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

What is the most serious damage to the tissue concerning damage by 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:

Internal bleeding will never lead to circulation failure:

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

Inspiration is mainly caused by muscle activity of the Diaphragm:

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

A patient who is shouting has an open airway:

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

Breathing is controlled by the respiratory centre in the brain:

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

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

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:

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

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:

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

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:

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

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

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 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:

Dressing should always be larger than the wound they cover:

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

Cardiac arrest leads to circulation failure:

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.

Parts of the body can be used as splints:

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

Any major bleeding must be stopped before treating a wound:

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

A casualty with burns has less need for fluid:

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

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:

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.

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

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

A bandage is always applied to an open wound:

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