What should you do if the person does not give consent? do not give care but call 911
In what situations should you prioritize spinal injury precautions when performing CPR, and
how would your approach differ from standard procedures?
When the victim is suspected of having a head, neck, or spinal injury, you must avoid
moving their head or neck while performing CPR. Perform CPR as usual, but avoid excessive
tilting of the head during rescue breaths.
How would you manage care for multiple victims with differing injuries after a natural disaster?
Use the triage system to prioritize victims, giving immediate care to those with life-
threatening injuries while guiding less severe cases to secondary responders.
Explain the circumstances under which you should use a bag-valve-mask (BVM) instead of
standard rescue breathing techniques.
A BVM should be used if there is a need for high-flow oxygen or if rescue breathing with a
mask is insufficient, especially when there are multiple responders.
How can you differentiate between heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and what are the immediate
first aid steps for each?
1
, Heat exhaustion presents with heavy sweating, weakness, and nausea; treat with rest, fluids,
and cooling. Heat stroke involves a lack of sweating, confusion, and hot skin; treat with
immediate cooling and call for emergency services.
How does using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) differ when the victim is a child
versus an adult?
For children, use pediatric AED pads if available and adjust the energy level. Ensure the pads
do not touch each other, one on the chest and the other on the back.
What are the legal implications of providing care without consent, and how does this vary
depending on the victim’s age or state of consciousness?
Consent must be obtained from a conscious, competent adult. If the victim is unconscious or
a minor, implied consent is assumed in life-threatening situations.
Describe the procedure for controlling severe external bleeding, including when and how to
apply a tourniquet.
Apply direct pressure with a sterile dressing to control bleeding. If bleeding doesn’t stop,
apply a tourniquet above the injury only if trained, ensuring it's tight enough to halt blood flow.
How does the Good Samaritan Law protect a trained responder, and under what conditions might
a responder still be held liable?
