Could You Actually Save A Life?

Elsy O. Stromberg, NEVER put ice on a burn. • Ice can damage skin tissue and increase the risk of infection. • Ice can reduce blood flow to the burn, which can delay healing. • Ice can numb the pain from the burn, so you might not notice if the skin is getting too cold. This can lead to frostnip, a milder form of cold injury.

Check your questions with the American Red Cross/Heart saver book. They are out of date!

7'10 The CPR questions are ambiguous and out of date. Number of compressions is dependent on the age of the persons. THe count for babies is different then the count for adult males. Secondly, you no longer do assisted breathing as the compressions work the lungs.

some of these are controversial.

4/10 does not qualify me to assist in a crisis.

Shivering is the very first sign of hypothermia, they said I was wrong and that it should be heart murmur. Wrong!!

I think putting ice on a minor burn helps.

Great that the answers were shown. Good job.

This quiz was interesting & I learned some things too.
