injured?

scene while driving to work. Two cars are involved, and it looks like people are injured.

handle. What should you do?
Wear protective barriers such as gloves, regardless of your relationship with the person
you are helping. - ANS-You are attempting to control bleeding on a coworker who has

Place her in the recovery position to protect her airway. - ANS-You respond to a report
of a coworker collapsing in the lunch room. When you arrive she is lying on the floor not
moving. Other employees are looking to you to take charge. You find her to be

your breathing assessment, you determine she is breathing normally. What is your next
step?
It helps keep fluids and the tongue clear from the airway. - ANS-Why is angling the body
and face towards the ground important when placing a person in the recovery position?
He cannot speak or make any sounds. - ANS-You are eating lunch in the cafeteria at
work when another employee at a nearby table stands up suddenly and grasps his
hands to his throat. You go to help and ask him if he is choking. How can you tell if the
obstruction is severe and requires your help?
Control the bleeding for the injury on her leg. - ANS-It is safe for you to help someone
who has been injured by a cutting machine. She is responsive, so you introduce
yourself and ask if you can help. She agrees and you assess she has no difficulty
breathing. A quick scan for bleeding reveals a heavily bleeding wound on her left upper
leg. What is your next action?
Apply pressure with a clean pad directly to the bleeding site until bleeding stops. -
ANS-You have responded as a first aid provider to a coworker who has accidentally cut
himself on his forearm. He is responsive and safe to approach. He has his hand
clamped down on the wound, but there is a pool of blood on the floor and blood is still
dripping from beneath his hand. What approach will you take to control bleeding?
A person who received a forceful blow to the chest or the abdomen. - ANS-Because you
