EAWS WINGS PHASE 1, EAWS
Questions with 100% Correct Answers
3 objectives of first aid Correct Answer: Prevent further injury, infection, the loss
of life
4 methods of controlling bleeding Correct Answer: Direct pressure, elevation,
pressure points, use of tourniquet as a last resort
11 principal pressure points Correct Answer: Temple, jaw, neck, collar bone,
inner upper arm, inner elbow, wrist, upper thigh, groin, knee, ankle
3 classifications of burns Correct Answer: First degree, second degree, three
degree
First degree burn Correct Answer: Produces redness, warmth and mild pain
Second degree burn Correct Answer: Causes red, blistered skin and severe pain
Third degree burn Correct Answer: Destroys tissue, skin and bone in severe
cases. Severe pain maybe absent due to nerve endings being destroyed
2 types of fractures Correct Answer: Closed/simple, open/compound
Closed/simple Correct Answer: Broken bone without a break in the skin
Open/compound Correct Answer: Has a break in the skin with possible bone
protrusion
2 types of heat related injuries Correct Answer: Heat exhaustion, heat stroke
,Heat exhaustion Correct Answer: Serious disturbance of blood flood to brain,
heart, and lungs. Skin is cool, moist, and clammy, pupils are dilated. Body temp
maybe normal or high; victim is usually sweating profusely
Heat stroke Correct Answer: Serious condition caused by breakdown of
sweating mechanism of the body. Victim unable to eliminate excessive body
heat buildup. Hot and/or dry skin, uneven pupil dilation, and a weak, rapid
pulse
3 types of cold weather injuries Correct Answer: Hypothermia, superficial and
deep frostbite
Hypothermia Correct Answer: Victim may appear pale and unconscious,
breathing is slow,shallow, pulse faint or undetectable, body tissues feel semi-rigid
and arms/legs may feel stiff
Superficial frostbite Correct Answer: Ice crystals form in upper skin layers
Deep frostbite Correct Answer: Ice crystals form in deeper skin layers
Shock Correct Answer: Body suffers from insufficient blood flow throughout the
body, result of severe injury or illness
5 types of shock Correct Answer: Septic, anaphylactic, cardiogenic,
hypovolemic, neurogenic
Septic shock Correct Answer: Results from bacteria multiplying in blood in
releasing toxins. Common causes: pneumonia, intra-abdominal
infections(ruptured appendix) and meningitis
Anaphylactic shock Correct Answer: Type of severe hypersensitivity or allergic
reaction. Allergy to insect stings, medicines, foods
, Cardiogenic shock Correct Answer: Occurs when heart is damaged and
unable to supply sufficient blood to body. Can be end result of a heart attack
or congestive heart failure
Hypovolemic shock Correct Answer: Caused by severe blood l/fluid loss, such as
traumatic bodily injury, makes the heart unable to pump enough blood to body
Neurogenic shock Correct Answer: Caused by spinal cord injury, usually result of
traumatic accident or injury
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) Correct Answer: Combination of rescue
breathing and chest compressions. Cardiac arrest occurs use of CPR can
support small amount of blood flow to heart/brain to "buy time" until normal
heart function is restored
Steps of CPR Correct Answer: C/A/B circulation/airway/breathing
Current CPR procedures published by Correct Answer: American Heart
Association (AHA) and American Red Cross (ARC)
Survival chain Correct Answer: Successful resuscitation following
cardiac arrest requires coordinated actions
Steps of survival chain Correct Answer: Recognition/activation of CPR
chest compressions
AED/defibrillator
rapid defibrillation
effective advanced life support(EMTs/ambulances)
