What should you do to treat Burns and Scalds?
Scalds are burns caused by contact with boiling fluids or steam. Treatment for minor burns and scalds is the same.
Step 1—Stop the burn.
Step 2—Cool the burn.
Step 3—Cover the burn.
Describe how meat, fish, chicken, eggs, dairy products, and fresh vegetables should be stored, and transported.
Keep stored in sealed packages/containers, separate from other foods in your fridge. And when you are transporting them use a cooler.
Note: If you do not plan on using meat products for 2 days, keep them frozen.
Explain why you should limit your intake of oils and sugars.
Helps you keep a better weight, and too much can lead to heart diseases.
What should you do to treat minor cuts?
Step 1—Stop the bleeding.
Step 2—If the blood soaks through, apply a second bandage on top.
Step 3—If the bleeding continues, raise the wound above the patient’s heart level.
Step 4—Once bleeding stops, clean the wound gently with soap and water, or just flush the wound with water to remove all debris and dirt.
Step 5—Apply an antibiotic ointment.
How do you prevent cross contamination?
Keep them sealed tightly on their containers. Don't let your ingredients touch!
Always use an antibacterial cleaner to wipe up spills from meat packaging or from raw meat. Do not cut meat on the same surface you use to cut up vegetables and other foods, even if the surface is clean
Free space! I couldn't think of what else to put in for Nutrition so ask the other team a Cooking related question. If they get it right you split the points, because a scout is Courteous :)
Did they get it right?
Smoke Inhalation. Inhaling smoke can seriously damage the lungs, and smoke sometimes contains noxious fumes. So how should you treat that?
To treat a smoke inhalation victim, first remove the victim from the smoke-filled area. Then have the victim take long, deep breaths of fresh air to clear the lungs. If coughing or choking continues, or if there is pain, irritation, or raspy breathing, see a doctor as soon as possible
Why is reading food labels is important.
It gives you the nutrition facts such as calories, carbohydrates, fats, sugars etc.
But what else is very important to keep in mind is looking out for food allergens, peanuts, dairy, etc.
What are the 5 food groups?
How do you help someone who is choking?
If the child or adult is conscious, give a series of five back blows. From behind, place one arm across the person’s chest and lean forward. Firmly strike the person’s back with the palm of your hand.
If this does no work, put your arms around the waist and clasp your hands together. The knuckle of one thumb should be just above the victim’s navel but below the rib cage. Then thrust your clasped hands inward and upward with enough force to pop loose the obstruction
The reason why we try to prevent cross contamination is because baterias might be growing inside our foods.
Name two food related diseases.
Escherichia Coli Enteritis (E. Coli).
Botulism.
Trichinosis (parasite Trichinella spiralis).
