Take the First Aid/Emergency Quiz

Test your knowledge of first aid by taking this quiz.

1. If you need to call 911 in an emergency, what should you tell the dispatcher?

You didn't answer this question.

You answered

The correct answer is

Try to remain calm and speak slowly and clearly. The dispatcher may ask you if anyone has been injured and, if so, how many; and the condition of the victim(s). Don't hang up until the dispatcher tells you it's OK to do so. Wait on the scene until emergency help arrives.

A. Describe the emergencyB. Give your name and the telephone number of the phone you are using to make the callC. Give the exact address where the emergency occurredD. All of the above

2. Which healthcare professional(s) are you likely to find in a hospital emergency department?

You didn't answer this question.

You answered

The correct answer is

Paramedics ride in ambulances and take care of injured victims at accident scenes. In hospitals in some states they may work as technicians, starting IV lines, drawing blood, splinting, and prepping wounds. A hospital ER is staffed with doctors and nurses specially trained in emergency medicine. They know how to treat accident victims and patients who suddenly become sick (heart attack, for example).

A. Emergency nurseB. Paramedic (in some states)C. Emergency doctorD. All of the above

3. One way to prepare for an emergency is to keep a list of important phone numbers near your phone. Which of these numbers should be included on the list?

You didn't answer this question.

You answered

The correct answer is

If your area does not have 911 service, also post emergency numbers for police and fire. Other useful numbers are your local hospital and ambulance service. If you have pets, post your veterinarian's number, as well.

A. Poison control centerB. Family doctorC. NeighborD. All of the above

4. In which cases should you call an ambulance instead of driving to the hospital ER?

You didn't answer this question.

You answered

The correct answer is

You should also call an ambulance if the victim cannot be safely moved without the help of emergency medical personnel.

A. The injury or condition is life-threateningB. The injury or condition could become life-threatening on the way to the hospitalC. The route to the hospital is long or congestedD. All of the above

5. As a nonmedical person, how often should you take a refresher course on CPR?

You didn't answer this question.

You answered

The correct answer is

In the meantime, review CPR procedures every 6 months to keep them fresh in your mind.

A. Every 5 yearsB. Every yearC. Every 2 yearsD. Every 3 years

6. Which of these should your home first aid kit include?

You didn't answer this question.

You answered

The correct answer is

Use hydrogen peroxide to clean wounds, the calamine lotion to relieve itching from insect bites or poison ivy, and the aspirin in case of heart attack symptoms while waiting for emergency medical personnel.

A. Hydrogen peroxideB. Calamine lotionC. AspirinD. All of the above

7. If a person has a bleeding wound, what should you do?

You didn't answer this question.

You answered

The correct answer is

A tourniquet, such as a cloth or bandage twisted tight, should be used with caution because it can damage nerves and blood vessels. This can lead to greater injury. Use a tourniquet for life-threatening bleeding only after you've been told how to use one. To raise a leg wound above the heart to slow bleeding, have the victim lie on the ground and elevate the leg. If you have put pressure to a wound for at least 20 minutes, but it continues to bleed, seek medical help. Do not remove any objects that have pierced the victim. Medical personnel should do this.

A. Apply a tourniquet right awayB. Cover the wound with a clean cloth and use continuous pressure with the palm of your handC. Raise the wound above the victim's heart to slow the bleedingD. B and C

8. The victim has pale or bluish skin color, cold skin, and dull or sunken eyes. These are symptoms of which health emergency?

You didn't answer this question.

You answered

The correct answer is

Even if a victim's injuries aren't life-threatening, the victim can go into shock and die. Shock occurs when the victim's organs and tissues don't get enough blood or oxygen. The victim may be unconscious, but not always. Call for emergency help first, then follow these steps:

Maintain an open airway for breathing
Control obvious bleeding
Elevate the legs about a foot, unless the injury makes that impossible
Cover the victim with blankets
Keep the victim on his or her back, unless the victim vomits (move victim onto his or her side at that point)

A. High feverB. ShockC. Heart attackD. None of the above

9. What should you put on a minor (first-degree) burn?

You didn't answer this question.

You answered

The correct answer is

Minor burns are defined as first-degree burns and any second-degree burns that extend over an area of skin no larger than 3 inches. In a first-degree burn, the skin is red and may be swollen and somewhat painful. If blisters are present, it's considered a second-degree burn. Don't use ice water, ice, butter, and oil on a burn. These substances can damage the skin. Instead, for minor burns, soak the area in cool water. When the burn is cool, put an antibiotic ointment on the wound and cover it with a dry, sterile gauze (not fluffy cotton) bandage. The burn should heal in 2 weeks. Change the dressing every day and watch for any signs of infection. More serious burns are a medical emergency and should be treated right away in the ER.

A. Ice waterB. ButterC. IceD. None of the above
