This is important for 2 main reasons:

1.) To stop blood loss.

2.) To prevent infection.

Another reason is that the wound/cut can be covered up and therefore it looks neater.

If you touch the victim while an AED is delivering a shock, you too will receive a shock.

You can however the real question would be if it will be enough energy to resuscitate an adult. Chances are probably not. The AED should have both of the sizes of pads inside of it. If not then it needs to be serviced by the Manufacturer.

You only perform a primary assessment in CPR. The primary assessment determines the immediate threats to life. The primary assessment is checking the ABC's and if there is severe bleeding. The secondary assessment is performed after threats to life are controlled. The secondary assessment is taught in First Aid.

While there are first aid professionals, that are called in to help, ideally, everyone shoud know a little first aid. Knowing just a little can save a life, reduce suffering, etc. At a scene, the most experienced person should be directing the effort. However I'll often yield the floor and let someone else run it before I'll get into an argument with another rescuer at a scene. In that instance, I'll only intrude if the procedures being undertaken endanger the patient.

You first call 911 or poison control (1-800-222-1222). Then you check the person's vitals. You put them into recovery position if they throw up. Collect samples of the throw up and the chemicals. also keep any empty contains that may have been consumed.

AED is an acronym that stands for Automated External Defibrillator. It is used to stop the heart's motion via electric shock, effectively hitting the hearts "reset" button. The heart then, hopefully restarts with normal activity. An AED cannot be used when a heart is in asystole, a state of no electrical activity. Also, an AED cannot be used in a moving vehical as that affects the analysis.

If body core temperature is low enough it could result in hypothermia.

Well as you obviously know you start to shake when your temperature drops, this then attempts to warm you up as you are moving your body

Senior citizens are most vulnerable risk groups in quick response to emergencies and awareness to life saving procedures to mitigate the seriousness of any fatality can be considerably reduced if they are taught simple first aid procedures.

They should be placed on there back. (The supine position)

Immediately after a shock, you will wait to follow the next instruction from the AED. After a shock, it will either immediately analyze again and possibly shock again, or direct you to check the patient for a pulse, and if none resume CPR.

Well, most houses have cought on fire sometime or another.That doesnt mean it was bad. I cant say I remember when it happened at my house, but ya my house cought on fire. Luckily it didnt burn enough to call for help but that prooves people should be more carefull with fire[weather they think so or not].

BAsic and handy stuff to have ready would be a hard hat, shortwave radio, dry food, plenty of water, canvas sheet for shelter, strong boots and out door clothes, candles/a good flash lamp that doesn't need batteries, a basic but useful first aid kit.

Yes, you can, for example, if you are a teen, which means you are currently enrolled in high school, you may be on wheel of fortune teens, go on the website, it'll say in the contestants category. Many other shows also let kids paarticipate, google game shows for kids and you will get some game shows. I hoped this helps!

We do not know. In 'The End' Sunny Baudelaire accuses Count Olaf of this crime and he replies "Is that what you think?"

and Sunny replies "We know so"

he then replies to that with "You know nothing"

When you are outside during an earthquake, it is best to just go under anything hard and safe.

If you are at a school or open area, avoid ANY trees, power lines, or buildings that could damage your head or back (or anything, really) in any way

and duck and cover. If you're in a car, stop the car and stay in the car.

Hope this helped!

A tornado watch is given out if general weather conditions favor the formation of tornadoes over the next few hours. A PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) tornado watch may be issued if conditions favor the formation of strong to violent tornadoes. A tornado watch usually covers an area at least the size of a state.

A tornado warning is issued if a tornado has been spotted or detected or the threat of one is imminent. A tornado emergency is an informal variety of tornado warning meaning that a large tornado is approaching a populated area and is expected to cause major damage. A tornado warning usually covers an area about the size of a county.

Tornadoes can lift people up, but they usually are thrown out of the vortex before being carried very high. Most of the people killed in tornadoes are struck or crushed by debris.

If the burn happened within the last minute or two, immerse the hand in cold (but not freezing) water. This is to reduce the temperature of the hand -- it might still be burning. Hold it in the cold water for a few minutes, then dry by patting with a clean cloth. If it's just reddened but the skin isn't hurt, that's a first degree burn -- there's really not a lot you need to do. Treat it delicately, if you want to use a burn cream, especially one with a topical painkiller, go ahead. If you have blisters, this is a second degree burn. If one or two fingertips are blistered, and there's nothing else wrong with you, you can probably handle this at home. If they entire hand is blistered, this is a job for the ER. Somewhere in between, you'll have to make your own decision. You can always call your doctor or ER when in doubt. If you decide to treat this at home, DON'T pop the blisters. Nature will take care of that. Wrap the hand loosely and gently in clean or sterile gauze. This is to protenct the hand. Don't move the hand in such a way that flexes the burned areas. When the blisters pop, get out the sterile gear. Gently dab the wound dry, and trim away any dead skin -- and ONLY dead skin. If you have silvadene (Silver sulfazine), this is a good time to apply it. If not, gently apply betadyne to the raw, new skin, and let it air dry, then sover with a sterile gauze in order to protect and keep it clean. Some folks like antimicrobial creams. They keep the wound moist. I personally don't -- they act as adhesives for micbrobes and dirt. However, this is a matter of opinion, and there are good arguments on both sides. Keep this wound dry. Check it and re-bandage every time it gets wet or every 1-2 days. If you've burned your hand so badly that most of the surface skin is gone, and the wound has a blackened look, or the well-known "fried chicken skin" appearance, that's a 3rd degree burn. Wrap the burn very gently in sterile (if you have em) gauze or clean cloth (if you don't have sterile), and head for the ER. If you're a distance from help, and have very clean or sterile water, you can wrap the 3rd degree burn in damp strips of bandage, then in guaze. Start heading for help ASAP. Treat the victim of third degree burns for shock. Do not apply butter or oil. Except as noted above, do not apply creams. all this stuff will have to be cleaned off at the ER, and that can HURT.

Income is important because with it, we can afford the things we desire, such as paying our rent or mortgages as well as pay our other bills, like car payments, life insurance, and the food and water that we consume.

The most destructive single tornado on record was the Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22, 2011 which causes $2.8 billion in damage. The most destructive level of tornado is an EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita scale (the Joplin tornado was an EF5). Such tornadoes wipe well-built houses clean off their foundations.
