A. Given a casualty, identify types of heat injuries to
determine treatment. (MCCS-MED- 1009a) - Correct
Answers ✅a. Sunburn. A bad case of sunburn can be
incapacitating. Be sure to wear protective clothing even if you
think it is "too hot" to do so.
b. • Prickly heat rash. Rashes take a long time to heal,
particularly in the tropics. The itching and consequent
scratching can lead to infection.
c. • Fungus infections. Fungus infections will leave open sores
on your feet and groin. The scratching will lead to open
ulcers, infection, and disease. While they can occur in nearly
every environment, they are more typically found in a hot
weather or humid setting.
d. • Heat cramps. Heat cramps will result in painful cramps in
the muscles. Heat cramps are also considered to produce a
"heat casualty."
e. • Heat exhaustion. More serious than heat cramps, heat
exhaustion is also considered to produce "heat casualty."
f. • Heat stroke. The most serious of the heat-related
problems, heat stroke is the total collapse of the body's heat
regulatory mechanism. It is the most serious of the "heat
casualties" and is a life threatening injury.
A. Given a casualty, perform treatment measures for the
different types of heat injuries to prevent further injury or
death. (MCCS-MED-1009b) - Correct Answers ✅a. To treat
heat cramps,
i. Give the victim small sips of cool water.

ii. Remove the victim to a cool or shaded area.
iii. Massage cramped muscles.
iv. If indications of a more serious condition are
v. present, transport the victim to medical attention.
b. To treat heat exhaustion,
i. • Remove excessive clothing.
ii. • Place the victim in a cool, shaded area.
iii. • Fan or sprinkle victim with water to keep cool.
iv. • If conscious, give victim small sips of water.
v. • Treat victim also for shock,.
vi. • Seek medical attention should indications of a more
serious problem exist.
c. To treat heat stroke,
i. • Send for medical assistance.
ii. • Move the victim to a cool, shaded area.
iii. • Loosen victim's clothing and equipment.
iv. • Apply water or ice to the victim's entire body, fanning
the victim as
much as possible.
v. • Do not attempt to force the victim to drink.
vi. • Ensure that the airway remains open and that thevictim
continues to breathe.

Given a scenario with a casualty suffering from dehydration,
identify the amount of fluid for consumption to rehydrate the
casualty. (MCCS-MED-1009c) - Correct Answers ✅3.5-5
quarts of water per day
. Given a casualty, identify types of cold injury to determine
treatment. (MCCS-MED- 1010a) - Correct Answers
✅Frostbite is the freezing of flesh. Frostbite is caused when
the body restricts blood flow to the appendages to conserve
core heat. The surface tissues actually freeze, and with
continued chilling, the frozen area extends to deeper
levels.Note: Frost nip or superficial frostbite may affect the
nose, checks and ears, and may appear as a white patch on
the skin.Frostbite symptoms are:
● Sensations of cold or pain.
● Complete loss of sensation in the affected area. The
sensation is described as feeling "like a stump," "like a block
of wood," or "cube-like."
● Tissue becomes hard and red, and then turns white, white-
yellow or mottled blue-white, and cold.
● Swelling may occur, and blisters may form on the affected
area.Symptoms of immersion foot are:
● Pale, wrinkled, loose, spongy, cold, swollen, and waxy skin
on the feet.
● Discoloration develops as the transition to gangrene
occurs.HypothermiaThe body's first response to cold is the
constriction of the blood vessels of the skin, causing a

decrease in the amount of heat transported by the blood to
the skin. The body does this to keep what heat is being
generated for the body core, which houses the vital
organs.Hypothermia is commonly brought on when an
individual falls into an ice-cold stream or river or is exposed
to the elements without adequate clothing. If the body cannot
produce enough heat to overcome what is lost through
evaporation of the moisture in the wet clothing, it will begin
to reduce its core temperature.Hypothermia is defined as a
core body temperature of less than 95° F. It may be classified
as:
● Mild (93.2° F to 95° F).
● Moderate (86° F to 93.2° F).
● Severe (less than 86° F).Symptoms of hypothermia by core
body temperature are:
● Temp 99° to 96° F: Shivering becomes intense and
uncontrollable. The ability to perform complex tasks is
impaired.
● Temp
Given a casualty, perform treatment measures for the
different types of cold injuries to prevent further injury or
death (MCCS-MED-1010b) - Correct Answers ✅Re-warming
of the frostbitten extremity is rarely done in the field. You can
cause a great damage by unsuccessful attempts re-warm the
frostbitten area. To treat frostbite,
● Move the casualty to a heated area such as a warming tent
or vehicle.
