| Ethical First Aid
Okay i have an assignment in my intro to anatomy and First aid class. I keep looking at it and I could use a little help with it. Not explicit help but a little guidance would help. Here's the assignment:
Scenario: You and your friends are on your way to the mountains for a weekend camping trip when you come upon a 1981 station wagon in a ditch at the side of the road. The car has rolled and there is smoke coming out from beneath the hood. There were five passengers. As you survey the scene you see that two passengers are still in the car, which smells like gasoline.
* The first passenger you see is a girl about 10 years old. She has some cuts and abrasions and her left leg is broken with the bone protruding. She is bleeding profusely from the point of the break.
* The second victim is an adult male, still in the car. He is bleeding profusely from the head. His head has apparently gone through the windshield, and is strangely tilted. He is unconscious, but he does have a pulse.
* Also still in the car is a little boy about 4 years old strapped into his car seat. His right eye is bleeding and he has some bruises and a red, swollen shoulder he can’t move. He is crying and won’t stop.
* Lying face down on the road is a teenage boy who is not moving. He appears to have a cut on his head with some blood, and he has abrasions on his shoulder and arm.
* A woman is out of the car crying. She is trying to stop traffic to get help. She is pale and cold, and her right arm just hangs at her side. She has some bleeding from a cut on that arm.
There are some things you already know. You know you should avoid moving someone who may have spinal injuries (neck and back) unless you have the training and skills necessary to immobilize the head and back.
Task: You must decide what you will do first, who you can help, and in what order. You must also determine the kinds of injuries and the kind of aid that you will render.
I could really use some help with this.
