Best Answer

Deformity, in a prehospital emergency context means any structural abnormalities of the body observed primarily through through sight and palpation. Auscultation may also be used to diagnose internal deformity or abnormalities.

A good way of determining whether something is deformed (eg swollen, bent etc) is to compare the affected side with the other. For example, if the right hand appears deformed upon palpation, compare this with the left hand. If the right hand appears to be bigger then the left hand, it is a good indication of a deformity caused by swelling.

What are the signs and symptoms that someone needs first aid?

Signs and symptoms that someone needs first aid vary greatly. If someone has fallen, pain somewhere in the body can mean that first aid is needed. If someone is laying on the floor and not responding, is bleeding from a cut, choking on food, or a host of other things, it is a sign that first aid is needed.
