habitat - Place where an organism lives
Ecology - The study of how living things interact with each other and their environment
Ecosystem - A system formed by the interaction of a community of organisms with their
physical environment
carrying capacity - the largest population that an environment can support at any given time
Succession - A series of predictable and orderly changes within an ecosystem over time.
population dynamics - Changes in structure and composition of populations over time.
three factors affecting population dynamics - - age
- density
- productivity
4 fundamental needs of every organism - - food
-space
- water
-shelter
-receives from their habitat.
conservation - The smart use and planned management of natural resources. Goal to protect and
preserve natural resources and the environment.
What does the ABCD rule stand for? - Airway
Breathing
Circulation
Deadly Bleed Check
what are the signs of circulation - - skin colour
- temperature
What life threatening conditions should you check for during the Deadly Bleed Check - - not
breathing
- no pulse
, - bleeding
- shock (pale, cold clammy skin)
- unconsciousness
What is a secondary survey? - - First aid check for all non-life threatening conditions and a
documentation of all the information gathered.
- only do when you're 100% sure the casualty has no life threatening injuries
- three steps:
1) Interview casualty and bystanders. Record name, #, time, what happened, medical history
(allergies, last meal, conditions)
2) Check vital signs. Record every 10 minutes and compare
3) Perform a head to toe. Do a careful examination and be careful not to injury more
- Write down all findings, helpful for when you talk to medical professionals
what are the 3 basic elements of first aid - 1) Scene Assessment
2) Casualty Assessment
3) Movement of victim
What does RED stand for when treating bleeds? - - Rest
- Elevate
- Direct Pressure
How do you know if you've injured an artery? - - Blood pours out in spurts
- potentially fatal in minutes, use RED, firm direct pressure.
Where are the indirect pressure points you can use to control bleeds in the lower arm and leg -
lower arm: brachial artery. Pressure inside arm between elbow and shoulder
leg: Femoral artery. Pressure on bone near groin area
when do you use indirect pressure points? - When elevation and direct pressure is not controlling
the bleed
What to do when casualty showing signs of internal bleeding - - Keep the victim in recovery
position
- Watch for changes in condition ie choking or difficulty breathing
- Transport the victim to a hospital and tell them you suspect internal bleeding
- Don't give any fluids or anything else via mouth, even if victim tells you to.
3 most dangerous situations to attend to in first aid - - shock
- breathing
- bleeding
