Answer 1

Answer

1) The standard precautions to be followed before administering the emergency treatment are the Universal precautions which refers to the practice, in medicine, of avoiding contact with patients' bodily fluids, by means of the wearing of nonporous articles such as medical gloves, goggles, and face shields. The practice was introduced in 1985–88.

2) when the bleeding is not stopped by dressing and firm pressure we have to follow the following steps first.

Stop Bleeding

• Apply direct pressure on the cut or wound with a clean cloth, tissue, or piece of gauze until bleeding stops.
• If blood soaks through the material, don’t remove it. Put more cloth or gauze on top of it and continue to apply pressure.
• If the wound is on the arm or leg, raise limb above the heart, if possible, to help slow bleeding.
• Wash your hands again after giving first aidand before cleaning and dressing the wound.
• Do not apply a tourniquet unless the bleeding is severe and not stopped with direct pressure.

• After you stop bleeding, rinse the cut thoroughly with cool water. You can either hold the wound under running water or pour water from a cup over the wound. This may cause the bleeding to return. If so, hold pressure as you did before.

• Use soap and a soft washcloth to clean the skin around the wound. Try to keep soap out of the wound itself because it can cause irritation. Hydrogen peroxide and iodine will harm living cells and should not be used directly on a wound.

• Use tweezers cleaned in rubbing alcohol to remove dirt, glass, gravel, or other foreign matter remaining in the wound.

• Leave a wound uncovered if it’s in an area where it won’t get dirty or be rubbed by clothing. This will help it stay dry so it can heal faster.
