What preparations and precautions are associated with emergency first aid? Goals of first aid 1. Prevent further harm 2. Preserve life 3. Promote recovery Preparation 1. Have a list of emergency phone numbers for emergency responders 2. Have a health history of each family member. Medical identification tags (e.g., bracelets or necklaces) alert emergency responders to pertinent information about a family member’s medical condition, disease, or allergy.

What preparations and precautions are associated with emergency first aid? C. Accident scene first responders must take certain precautions. 1. The accident scene must be evaluated. 2. A first responder must be confident in his or her actions and choices. 3. It is essential to identify victims in immediate danger. 4. Responsive victims 5. Unresponsive victims SPINAL INJURY IMMOBILIZATION

What supplies should be included in a first-aid kit? First aid is the earliest care victims receive for the treatment of injuries, illness, and ailments. First-aid kits are bags or boxes containing medical devices (e.g., medications, bandages, and other medical-related equipment) used to treat common ailments.

What supplies should be included in a first-aid kit? A well-stocked first-aid kit is essential to a responder. 1. Absorbent cloth 2. Antihistamine 3. Antimicrobial solution and ointment 4. Antiseptic solution or iodine 5. Aspirin 6. Bacitracin 7. Bandages (general and butterfly) 8. Bandages (triangular) 9. Calamine lotion 10. Cold pack 11. Disinfectant 12. Elastic wrap 13. Eye drops 14. Eyedropper 15. Flashlight 16. Gauze pads (large) 17. Gloves 18. Hot pack 19. Matches 20. Mouthpiece 21. Safety pins 22. Scissors 23. Sewing needle 24. Sugar packets 25.

What basic life-saving techniques would a responder perform? Basic life-saving techniques and first aid can prevent life-threatening injuries and hospital stays. However, the most important life-saving tool used by any first responder is common sense. Bystanders can help by: 1. Evaluating an accident scene and thus helping to save lives 2. Turning off the engine of an automobile following an accident to prevent explosions or fires 3. Removing victims from dangerous areas 4. Calling 911 to get help to the scene as soon as possible.

What basic life-saving techniques would a responder perform? Responsive or unresponsive 1. Responsive victims are people who are injured and conscious; they respond to questions. These victims are usually able to move and may suffer: a. Active choking b. Bleeding c. Non-life-threatening wounds d. Shock 2. Unresponsive victims are injured and unconscious; they do not respond to questions and may have life-threatening injuries that are not visible and need to be evaluated, including: a. Head injures b. Cardiac arrest c. Choking

What basic life-saving techniques would a responder perform? A first responder is a medically trained person who acts within his or her own scope of practice. For instance, when CPR-certified people assist with CPR, they are acting within their scope of practice. Crowds of bystanders at an accident scene may need to be dispersed by the first responder to alleviate the following issues that hamper rescues or make first-aid administration more difficult.

What basic life-saving techniques would a responder perform? The U.S. Good Samaritan Law protects civilians from medical lawsuits by allowing people to act within their own scope of practice. Medical emergencies are injuries or illnesses that pose immediate risks to a victim’s long- or short-term health. 1. The chain of survival is a sequence of events followed in medical emergencies when a victim does not have a heartbeat or is not breathing.
