2. wash your hands after giving care
acute illness - ANSan illness that strikes suddenly and usually only lasts for a short period of
time
AED - ANScan correct the underlying problem for some people who go into cardiac arrest
agonal breaths - ANSisolated or infrequent gasping in the absence of normal breathing
airborne illnesses - ANStuberculosis
anaphylaxis - ANSsevere, life-threatening allergic reaction
antihistamines - ANSa medication that counteracts the effects of a histamine, a chemical
released by the body during an allergic reaction
asthma - ANSchronic illness in which certain substances or conditions, called triggers, cause
inflammation and narrowing of the airways making breathing difficult
asthma inhalers and nebulizers - ANS-metered dose inhalers
-dry powder inhalers
-small-volume nebulizers
aura - ANSan unusual sensation or feeling
bandages - ANSa strip of material used to hold the dressing in place and control bleeding
blood borne illnesses - ANSHIV, Hepatitis
blood borne pathogens - ANSspread when blood from an infected person enters the
bloodstream of a person who is not infected
blunt trauma - ANScaused by impact with a flat object or surface, often the cause of internal
bleeding
bruise (contusion) - ANScommon closed wound, usually caused by a blunt trauma
burn - ANStraumatic injury to the skin, caused by contact with extreme heat, chemicals,
radiation or electricity
call first - ANS-any person 12+ who is unresponsive
-a child/infant whom you witnessed suddenly collapse
-an unresponsive child or infant known to have heart problems
cardiac arrest - ANSoccurs when the heart stops beating or beats too ineffectively to circulate
blood to the brain and other vital organs
cardiac chain of survival (adults) - ANS1. recognize emergency and call 911
2. early CPR
3. early defibrillation
, 4. advanced life support
5. integrated post-cardiac arrest care
cardiac chain of survival (kids) - ANS1. prevention
2. early CPR
3. early emergency care
4. pediatric advanced life support
5. integrated post-cardiac arrest care
care first - ANS-an unresponsive infant or child <12 yrs whom you did not see collapse
-a person who is choking
-allergic reaction and has an epinephrine auto injector
-a person who has severe, life-threatening. bleeding
care for heat exhaustion - ANSmoving the person to a cooler environment with circulating air
caring for an adult that is choking - ANS5 back blows, 5 abdominal thrusts
caring for an infant who is choking - ANSfaced down on your knee, supporting head, 5 back
blows and 5 chest thrusts (with 2 fingers in the middle of the chest about 1 and 1/2 inches
down)
cause of respiratory distress - ANSacute flare-ups of chronic respiratory conditions or chronic
pulmonary disease, pneumonia or bronchitis, severe allergic reactions, etc
check - ANSfirst check the scene, then check the person
chronic illness - ANSan illness that a person lives with on an ongoing basis that often requires
continuous treatment to manage
closed wound - ANSsurface of skin is intact
compression-only CPR - ANSif you are unable to give full CPR, you give continuous chest
compressions, with no rescue breaths
consent - ANSpermission, what you must obtain before giving first aid care
contusion - ANSbruising
convulsions - ANSuncontrolled body movements caused by contractions of the muscles
CPR - ANScardiopulmonary resuscitation, skill that is used when a person is in cardiac arrest to
keep oxygenated blood moving into the brain and other vital organs until advanced medical help
arrives
CPR chest compression depth - ANSadult- 2-2.4
child-1.5-2
infant-1-1.5
CPR process - ANS30 chest compressions followed by 2 sets of rescue breaths
critical burn or not evaluation - ANS-the depth of the burn
-% of body's surface area that is burned
-location
-age
-cause
diabetes - ANSchronic condition by the body's inability to process glucose in the bloodstream
dislocation - ANSoccurs when the bones that meet at a joint move out of their normal position
dressing - ANSa pad that is placed directly on a wound to absorb blood and other fluids,
promote clotting and prevent infection
