Online testing: Test about First Medical Aid (CBT)

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

Parts of the body can be used as splints:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 patient who is shouting has an open airway:

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

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:

Open weave roller bandages are used to support joints:

Shock and circulation failure are equivalent:

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

Bandages must be sterile before use:

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:

Internal bleeding will never lead to circulation failure:

Improvised splints can only be made of solid materials:

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

Breathing is controlled by the respiratory centre in the brain:

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

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

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

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

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

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

You should terminate resuscitation after 15 minutes:

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:

We have 3 circulatory systems for blood transportation:

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

Cardiac arrest will always lead to unconsciousness:

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:

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:

Head injury will lead to circulation failure:

A triangular bandage is always used in its triangular shape:

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

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

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

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

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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A casualty with burns has less need for fluid:

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:

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

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

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

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

Cardiac arrest leads to circulation failure:

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

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

Dressing should always be larger than the wound they cover:

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

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

A fractured spine will always imply unconsciousness:

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

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

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.

Cooling does not reduce pain in a sprain:

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

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:

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

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:

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

Inspiration is mainly caused by muscle activity of the Diaphragm:

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

A haematoma can be caused by head injury:

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

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

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