For Nos. 17-19
Enumerate at least three (3) first aid treatment to strains or sprains
FIRST AID1. Apply the R.I.C.E. Method.2. DO not apply heat during the first two
days as this will only increase swelling.3. Use paracetamol for the first day of the
injury, to reduce pain without increasing bleeding. Thereafter, ibuprofen (or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatories) or aspirin is a good choice. Don’t give aspirin to a child younger than 16 years.
Sprains and strains
FIRST AID4. Apply Arnica oil to reduce swelling.5. Remove rings immediately if the injury is
to the hand or fingers.6. After 48 hours, start moving the limb
gently, but only enough not to cause pain.
7. Gradually increase the range of movement – let pain be your guide.
Sprains and strains
For Nos. 20-22
Enumerate at least three (3) first aid treatment to fractures or dislocations
FIRST AID1. Apply the R.I.C.E. Method.2. Keep the limb in the position you found it
and place soft padding around the broken bones. Splint the injury with something rigid, such as rolled up newspaper or magazines, to prevent the bones from shifting. Don’t move the broken bones. Splints must be long enough to extend beyond joints above and below the fracture.
Fractures/Dislocations
FIRST AID3. If there is an open fracture, cover it with
a clean gauze pad. Apply pressure to control bleeding. Don’t try to push the bone back into the would and don’t attempt to clean it.
4. Get medical attention immediately. Fractures of the femur and pelvis may cause severe internal bleeding.
5. Don’t give the person anything to eat or drink in case surgery is needed.
