Answer 1

hey, I'd help but it is a lot of info. besides you need to learn it for yourself. after all this is first-aid. that means that you are expected to take someones life into your hands and keep him alive/treat him until help arrives. if you can't do that because you earned the badge but never learned how to do it then you are endangering someone else. trust me i know. not just preaching. I'm a combat medic and I'm expected to do just that. help someone until i can get him to a medical doctor that can provide definitive care. i also teach Combat Life Saver courses to army personnel. they do everything that you just asked, and will probably be tested harder than you will. I'll let you know that if i ever find one of my student's studying in this way i will bring the hammer of god down on their head so fast that they won't know what hit them.

Answer 2

Fractures--usually means a broken bone, so u really need to keep the person calm down and put ice on the pain til they get to the hospital
Burns---Always carry aloe vera plant with u. The real plant is instant relief of all burns.
Hypthermia----make them sip warm salt water, they are dehydrated...melt B12 under tongue
Frostbite.....fill an empty drink bottle with hot water and put in a sock and put on the frostbite to thaw it out...aloe vera is good also
Skin rashes....take benedrly--and try olive oil on rash, use aloe vera if itchy rash
poison ingestion.....drink plenty of milk or water..apple cider vinegar and honey water too
pain in the abdominal.....could be appendix--call 9-11 rescue
crampin pain....put hot water bottle on it or magnets off the refrigerator
strains , sprains...remember the word RICE.... rest,ice,compress,elevate
how to splint----use a stick and rope or tape to splint the leg or arm straight

Answer 3

Do you have any idea how much information you are requesting? It would take me hours to thoroughly type it out...the best idea for you would be to check out a book on first aid at your local library. All the info you need would be right there.

Answer 4

Do the principles of scouting support using Yahoo Answers instead of doing the leg work yourself?

Answer 5

you can just google it and find the answers..this is alot of info you are asking for...i dont feel its right for you to ask people to do this...isnt there anything about honesty in the scouts motto,so how honest would this be if someone else did the work for you

Answer 6

Kert human beings may well be dazzling B***ard's and ignorant while it includes matters like help's. some human beings think of you may get it from actual touch. recently i became into asked by using a guy or woman i labored with why i did not provide blood i stated them that i won't provide blood because of the fact gay all of us isn't allowed. yet another guy or woman who i now not communicate with mentioned to us gay adult males at the instant are not allowed to grant blood because of the fact all of them have help's. He went directly to declare that It became into Natures way of sorting us out. lack of know-how like that's pathetic and regrettably that is going to stay until all of us is knowledgeable on the priority and cope with us all the two. I artwork as a social care worker in eire and that i've got had my honest proportion of homophobic comments from the babies i artwork with and there families, even instructors in college, and such as you I even have helped human beings pass on. Its a complicated element to do and you are going to be counseled for it. do not enable this guy or woman get you down or annoyed if he (i pass to persume its a him) is your chum or regardless of and you prefer him to stay on your existence communicate it out with him. yet do not enable him get to you!!! you're dazzling however he's a Phucker
