Question

There are five basic types of emergencies that every hunter should know about. which emergency is listed here?

Answer 1

There are five basic types of emergencies that every hunter should know about, these types are as follows:

1- victim not breathing or is unconscious: You can make sure that the victim is unconscious by simply shouting at him. If he's unconscious or not breathing, he won't reply. In this case, the hunter has to check that the airway passage is completely clear and there are no obstructions in it. After that, the hunter has to check if the victim started breathing or not. If not, then CPR is required. A last step is for the hunter to check the victim's pulse.
2- victim with burns: first thing is to check the type of burn. If it is first degree burn (burn that is on the surface of the skin), then it can be treated by cold water and aspirin. If the burn is from the second degree (blister is more serious and the burn is deeper under the skin). then it should be treated by covering it with a sterile and dry bandage without applying any pressure. If the burn is third degree (very deep into the skin and is into the flesh) should be covered with a sterile and dry bandage until qualified medical help is provided.
3- victim bleeding: The bleeding must be stopped as soon as possible and must be covered to prevent infection.
4- victim with break or sprain: it is difficult to know the difference between fracture and a break, therefore, the best scenario is to use sticks or splint boards to keep the fracture or the bone from moving.
5- victim in shock:  shock can slow down the heart and might lead to death. The best treatment for shock is to make sure that the victim is comfortable, secured and dry.<span />

Answer 2

There are five basic types of emergencies that every hunter should know.

1.       Victim bleeding.

Stopping the bleeding of a victim must be the first thing a hunter should know and to keep it from being infected. Applying direct pressure by pressing hard directly onto the wound with any available material or by pressure points.

2.       Victim in shock.

The extreme effect of shock can inhibit the function of heart or lungs and can even cause death. To a victim that is injured, he/she must not be in shock making he/she feel uncomfortable by lying down with feet elevated.

3.       Victim with sprain.

A splint should be made for any bone fracture to keep it from moving.

4.       Victim with burn.

For first degree burns, use cold water to sooth the pain. For second degree burns, cover it with sterilized bandages and apply no pressure to let the wound breath out. For third degree burns, cover them with dry sterile bandages and ask for medical attention.

5.       Victim not breathing.

Check the airway passage of the victim if it is not blocked. If it is clear, listen to the breathing of the victim for 5 seconds. If he is still not breathing, breathe into the mouth of the victim just like a CPR.
