Temperature, bleeding, breathing, and pulse
Pulse, respiration, pupils, and bleeding
Breath, eyes, bleeding, and fractures
Neurological deficit

Question 2:

Of the three ways the human body can become intoxicated, which is the fastest to seriously affect the victim?

The digestive tract, because if the victim is unconscious, they cannot neutralize the poison.
The rapid dermal absorption of the skin.
It all depends on the toxicity and response of the body.
The breathing, because inhaling the gas, it quickly moves from the lungs into the blood.
None of the above.

Loss of blood volume (hemorrhage) is extremely damaging to the victim in an accident. Concerning the blood vessel, which bleeding is more dangerous?

Patient’s agitation.

Question 6:

The tourniquet is indicated as a last resort to stop bleeding and only in case of amputations. The technique for application is:

Place a 10 cm tourniquet around the stump, tighten, and release after 20 minutes for 3 minutes, repeating the process if necessary.
Fit and tighten for 10 minutes and occasionally retighten if necessary.
Depending on whether the blood vessel is damaged artery or vein, the tourniquet is released periodically or not.
The location is not relevant, just release every 20 minutes to avoid necrosis of the stump.
Release the tourniquet every 30 minutes.

With seizures.

Question 12:

If the injured patient has a wound in the abdomen with bowel output, adequate attention is:

Lie down in a horizontal position, give them some pain medicine to take, and move them quickly to the hospital.

Lay them or turn them upside down to prevent the intestines from continuing to come out.
Turn them on their side and do not give them fluids or anything to take.
Try to get the guts manually.

Question 13:

In front of an accident with a fractured femur (conscious):

The entire leg should be immobilized to the ankle.
Should be immobilized only if fractured.
Immobilization should include the thigh, leg, and foot.
Cover only if an open fracture wound.
Should be immobilized from the waist to the ankle.

Question 14:

The action or splint to stabilize a fractured and broken bone has as its main objective:

Decrease pain and not only see the injury.
Prepare the patient for a safe transfer and reduce pain.
Avoid infection of the lesion only.
Likely prevent serious bleeding.

Question 15:
