Who governs medical practice in international waters?

Extremely tough question, and I don't think there is an actual answer. On a military vessel, which is typically considered to be soverign territory of its homeland, even when in International Waters, the laws of the home country would apply. Other than that... Most laws including Admiralty Law place the Captain of the vessel as the supreme authority in International Waters, so his (or her) word would serve to address legal concerns. Typically, the captain would deligate this responsibility to the medical officer (if one exists), or to whomever is most qualified. If all parties are equally qualified, tradition has the captain performing first aid. Once this hits court, however, it's a mess. The possibilities are: * Port of Origin on this voyage * "Port" of Registration (which may not even be a port at all). * Ownership of the boat (which may be an international corporation) * Destination of the boat. * Nationality of the caregiver or the victim * The dictums of the World Court None of these is considered a viable answer at this time.

Which injury suggests heat as a first aid treatment?

Heat is usually not a good option for first aid. Within the first 72 hours after an injury, ice is usually best since it decreases inflammation. However, if you pull a muscle or are experiencing muscle spasms (repeated and frequent sharp muscle pains) then heat may be ideal for a day or so since it may relieve some muscle tightness, decrease the spasms and abate the pain. Although the heat may increase inflammation and congestion in an area, the desire to abate serious pain and stop the continuation of spasms supersedes this worry. Hypothermia is another obvious time to use heat as first aid.

Why should not an injured person drink water?

If there's a chance the patient may need to be anesthetized, if the stomach isn't empty, there's a far far greater chance of them vomiting and then possibly aspirating the vomitus, which causes a huge range of complications. Even if aspiration doesn't occur, it's still a mess. Moreoften, liquids and nutrients will be administered intravenously to avoid this possible complication.

A narrative paragraph is one that describes what happens over a period of time. To make a good narrative, first you need to jot down a list of everything that happens. Write this in the order that it happened. Then, use your list to make sentences telling what happened at each time, and you have your paragraph.

You can list specific times, such as "At eight o'clock every day I start school," or you can use more general times, such as "First we cooked breakfast, then we sat down and ate." Your paragraph can cover any amount of time, too, from a few minutes to eternity.

In basic life support what is the rate of compressions?

The current guidelines state 30:2, that is 30 compressions to two rescue breaths. This is due to new research being released that shows the first 7-10 compressions are used to overcome the arterial compliance that causes the vessels to close without blood flow and to reopen them, hence the raise from 15:2 to 30:2.

-- Note, whilst ratio according to AHA/RCUK 2005 guidelines is 30:2, that is the radio of compressions to ventilations. The compressions should be delivered at a rate of 100/minute
