Head injury will lead to circulation failure:

Cooling does not reduce pain in a sprain:

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

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

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

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

A haematoma can be caused by head injury:

Inspiration is mainly caused by muscle activity of the Diaphragm:

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

Improvised splints can only be made of solid materials:

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

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

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

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

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

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:

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

A bandage is always applied to an open wound:

Any major bleeding must be stopped before treating a wound:

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:

Dressing should always be larger than the wound they cover:

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

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

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

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

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

Internal bleeding will never lead to circulation failure:

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

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

Cardiac arrest leads to circulation failure:

A patient who is shouting has an open airway:

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

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:

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:

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

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

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

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:

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

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

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:

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

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

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

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:

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

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

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

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

Bandages must be sterile before use:

Open weave roller bandages are used to support joints:

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

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

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

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

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:

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

A patient who breathes will always have a pulse rate?

We have 3 circulatory systems for blood transportation:

You should terminate resuscitation after 15 minutes:

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:

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

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

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:

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:

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