Question

which one of the following is a proper first - aid procedure? select one: a. covering a person suffering from shock b. rubbing frostbite gently c. lowing the head of a person suffering from heat exhaustion d. applying ointment to a first degree burn

Explanation:

• Option a: Covering a person in shock helps maintain their body temperature, which is a proper first-aid step as shock can cause hypothermia.
• Option b: Rubbing frostbite can damage frozen tissue, so this is incorrect.
• Option c: For heat exhaustion, the person's legs should be elevated (not head lowered) to improve blood flow to the brain.
• Option d: Ointments should not be applied to first-degree burns as they can trap heat and delay healing; cool water is the correct first aid.

Answer:

a. covering a person suffering from shock
