True.

False.

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

True.

False.

A triangular bandage is always used in its triangular shape:

True.

False.

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

True.

False.

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

True.

False.

True.

False.

Shock and circulation failure are equivalent:

True.

False.

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

Increasing pressure and developing oedema.

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

True.

False.

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

True.

False.
