Hmmm...

We were instructed to create questions that starts with what, when, where, why and how, and it should be related to bandaging and dressing and signs and symptoms. Well, here it is:

What are you supposed to do when someone fell and might have broke or sprained his arm?

     First of all, I will not panic. Nothing good will come out if I'm just going to panic and it might fluster other people. An arm has a flexed joint which is the elbow and I should perform the Figure Eight Spiral Bandaging with a bandage (it seems that I was coincidentally walking around with a bandage in my pocket). But if I don't have a bandage, I will assist him or her to a clinic or hospital since the one that is broken is the arm and not the leg or foot.

When should you learn how to give first aid, especially bandaging and dressing?

     As soon as possible. Yeah, that's my answer, straight to the point. We don't know when an accident will happen so we should learn it before something bad will go our way. It's not a good feeling when you see and accident in front of your eyes and the only thing you could do is stare. If you learn first aid, you will not only get rid of the feeling of being useless but also you would be able to help someone who is in dire need.

Where can you apply bandaging and dressing?

     I could actually apply it anywhere where an accident happened. There is actually no specific place where you can apply this, it is, in general, the place where the accident happened. After applying bandaging and dressing, you should bring the patient to the hospital for further examination and treatment.

Why should you know signs and symptoms?

     Signs are what the doctor sees and symptoms are what you feel. It is important because you know what you are going to say and what you really feel. When you consult the doctor, he/she will ask you questions regarding the mnemonic OPPQRST. It stands for complaint, palliative, provocative, quality, radiating, severity, and timing.

How should you apply bandaging and dressing?

     Well, you should always be gentle and calm since the patient is injured and is suffering already. You don't need to add the suffering of the patient and it is also not good to do that. In bandaging, be sure that you know what you are doing and do not guess on what to do. You might mistaken the style of bandaging for another and it might make the injury worse. In dressing, you should look where the wound is first since there are different types of dressing and the materials needed are also different. Just remember to be calm and be quick. 

Those are my questions and answers :)

I hope this will help you in the future :)
