should assume that: - ✔✔c. the athlete is allergic to the cold temperature of the ice
✔✔Which of the following is NOT a local response to an injury? - ✔✔b. bleeding from
the injured blood vessels
(vasodilation widens vessel for inflammation = redness/heat, inc blood flow allows
immune cells to enter via "leaky-ness" = not B, D, or E.
I put A and it was wrong, so by process of elimination I say B is the answer)
✔✔A volleyball player makes a diving save and gets up slowly, holding her left shoulder
with her right hands. While performing the emergency action steps, you determine that
, the athlete is breathing. You should begin your physical assessment by: - ✔✔d. firmly

✔✔Which of the following is a normal reaction to ice application? - ✔✔e. all of the
above
(aching, numbness, cold sensation, pins and needles)
✔✔Once a superficial wound stops bleeding..... - ✔✔b. clean the wound
(you'd follow that with sterile gauze/bandage and if they wound doesn't touch/still has
debris, you'd send the athlete to a physician)
✔✔Placing an athlete's injured ankle in a bucket of ice water is as effective as applying
an ice bag, and using the bucket of ice water should NOT create other problems. -
✔✔b. false
✔✔At practice, a basketball player with no history of epilepsy or seizures slumps to the
floor and has a seizure. The seizure stops within a minute. You determine that his
breathing and circulation are normal, and that he has no signs of other injuries or shock.
To move him from the floor you should: - ✔✔d. b or c (possibly?)
b. use the one-person drag
c. use the four- or five-person rescue
call for emergency medical assistance was wrong so..
