PPE
These should be worn during every first aid encounter to prevent contact with bloodborne pathogens.
Gloves
This is the very first thing you must check before approaching any victim.
Scene Safety
The "R" in the R.I.C.E. treatment for sprains stands for this.
Rest
This type of wound, commonly known as a scrape, occurs when the top layer of skin is rubbed off.
Abrasion
This is the primary and most effective way to stop most external bleeding.
Direct Pressure
Use this piece of equipment with a one-way valve when performing rescue breaths to avoid mouth-to-mouth contact.
CPR pocket mask or face shield
After ensuring the scene is safe, you check the victim for this by tapping their shoulder and shouting.
Responsiveness
This type of injury occurs when a bone is cracked or broken.
Fracture
This is a jagged-edged cut or tear in the skin.
Laceration
If blood soaks through the first dressing, you should do this instead of removing it.
If a wound is spurting blood, you should wear these to protect your vision.
If a scene is unsafe, you should stay back and perform this action immediately.
Call 911
This device is used to keep a broken bone from moving; it should be applied in the position the limb was found.
Splint
A nail or a needle usually causes this type of deep, narrow wound that may not bleed much.
Puncture
For life-threatening bleeding on an arm or leg that won't stop with pressure, use this.
Tourniquet
This is the very first thing you should do after removing and disposing of soiled gloves.
Wash your hands
When assessing a scene, you look for "clues," such as a fallen ladder or a pill bottle, to determine this.
Mechanism of Injury (MOI)
A sprain is an injury to this type of tissue, which connects bone to bone.
Ligament
This severe injury occurs when a body part, like a finger, is torn completely off.
Amputation
This type of bleeding is characterized by bright red blood that spurts in time with the heartbeat.
Arterial Bleeding
This term refers to treating all blood and body fluids as if they are known to be infectious.
Universal Precautions
This is the maximum number of seconds you should spend checking for normal breathing during an initial assessment.
10 Seconds
When splinting, you should always check for "CSM" below the injury, which stands for Circulation, Sensation, and this.
Movement
This type of wound involves a flap of skin being torn loose or hanging.
Avulsion
These special gauze pads are treated with chemicals to help speed up the clotting process.
Hemostatic Dressing
