Answers
Answer:
a. Rinse the cut or wound with water and apply pressure with sterile gauze, a bandage, or a clean cloth. If blood soaks through the bandage, place another bandage on top of the first and keep applying pressure. Raise the injured body part to slow bleeding.
b. You should: Run cool water over your finger or hand for 10 to 15 minutes. After flushing the burn, cover it with a dry, sterile bandage. If necessary, take over-the-counter (OTC) pain medication such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), or acetaminophen (Tylenol).
c. In most cases, bee stings don't require a visit to your doctor. In more-severe cases, you'll need immediate care. call emergency services if you're having a serious reaction to a bee sting that suggests anaphylaxis, even if it's just one or two signs or symptoms
d. Fainting occurs when your brain temporarily doesn't receive enough blood supply, causing you to lose consciousness. This loss of consciousness is usually brief. Fainting might have no medical significance. Or the cause can be a serious disorder, often involving the heart.
Answer:
Explanation:
a] Wash your hands. First, wash up with soap and water so you don’t get bacteria into the cut and cause an infection. If you’re on the go, use hand sanitizer.
Stop the bleeding. Put pressure on the cut with a gauze pad or clean cloth. Keep the pressure on for a few minutes.
Clean the wound. Once you’ve stopped the bleeding, rinse the cut under cool running water or use a saline wound wash. Clean the area around the wound with soap and a wet washcloth. Don’t get soap in the cut, because it can irritate the skin. And don’t use hydrogen peroxide or iodine, which could irritate the cut.
Remove any dirt or debris. Use a pair of tweezers cleaned with alcohol to gently pick out any dirt, gravel, glass, or other material in the cut.
b]First-degree burns are painful but minor. They turn red and may swell.
Second-degree burns form blisters. The skin may be very red and painful.
Third-degree burns make the skin look white or charred. The burns may not hurt because nerves have been damaged.
c] If the insect has left behind a stinger, remove it from the skin so less of the venom gets into your body. You can scrape out the stinger with the edge of a credit card or the dull edge of a knife. Don’t squeeze the stinger. You might release more of the venom into your skin.
Once the stinger is out or if there is no stinger, wash the area around the sting with soap and water.
Hold an ice pack or cool washcloth to the sting to stop it from swelling.
Spread calamine lotion or baking soda mixed with water to relieve pain.
To prevent itching, use a spray or cream containing hydrocortisone or antihistamine.
