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

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

Bandages must be sterile before use:

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

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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

A triangular bandage is always used in its triangular shape:

Internal bleeding will never lead to circulation failure:

Head injury will 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:

Cardiac arrest leads to circulation failure:

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

A patient who is shouting has an open airway:

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

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

You should terminate resuscitation after 15 minutes:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Inspiration is mainly caused by muscle activity of the Diaphragm:

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

Parts of the body can be used as splints:

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

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

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

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

Shock and circulation failure are equivalent:

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

A fractured spine will always imply unconsciousness:

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

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

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

Breathing is controlled by the respiratory centre in the brain:

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:

Cooling does not reduce pain in a sprain:

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

A bandage is always applied to an open wound:

A patient who breathes will always have a pulse rate?

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

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:

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

Dressing should always be larger than the wound they cover:

Cardiac arrest will always lead to unconsciousness:

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

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 haematoma can be caused by head injury:

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:

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

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

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:

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:

Any major bleeding must be stopped before treating a wound:

We have 3 circulatory systems for blood transportation:

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

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

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

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:

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:

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 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 casualty with burns has less need for fluid:

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

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

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

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