It is the Dog Days of August—hot and muggy. You have joined your college colleagues for a trip to a favorite, high-mountain lake to escape the valley heat. Just as you are setting up camp on the shore of the lake, you hear panicked screams for help out in the water. You quickly locate the source of the screaming—a teenage girl floundering in the cold mountain lake about 30 feet offshore. She is definitely in trouble and trying to keep her head above water.
1. What considerations must you quickly decide upon in order to rescue her?
2. How would you rescue her?
3. Once you have her on shore, what first aid measures would you take AND WHY WOULD YOU PREFORM THIS MEASURES ON THE VICTIM?
1.consider the depth of water,type of water,how much cold water it is.according to these factors i can understand that is it possible to help her by alone.or i need to call for help .i will find something like rope inorderto help her out.if nothing is found or i dont know swimming then i will inform to resuce team and police .
2.i thing it will be better to inform police as i cannot swim so that they can arrange navy guards and rescue team to save her life.
3.first remove water from inside body and give cardio pulmonary resucitation immediately to open her airway as well as it is necessary to provide adequate perfusion.
