Answer: The correct answer is keep the person warm.

Explanation:

   Hypothermia is a great loss of heat in your body. It falls from the usual body temperature (98.6 F/37 C) to below 95 F/35C. When this happens, the nervous and the respiratory along with the heart gradually begin to fail.

    The safest thing to do is, besides calling for help, keep the person warm. If you can, take him gently somewhere inside to a dry place. Remove his wet clothes slowly. It's advised not to rub him. Start placing layers of dry materials such as coats and blankets. If possible, cover the person's head. This will keep him warm.

You and a friend are riding bikes when they hit a bump and crash. Use the P.R.I.C.E. treatment plan to explain how you would tre
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Experts recommended acute injury patients use P.R.I.C.E. shortly after the injury occurs. It may be particularly helpful during the first 24 to 72 hours.

P:      Protection is meant to prevent further injury. For example, an injured leg or foot may be protected by limiting or avoiding weight-bearing through the use of crutches, a cane, or hiking poles. Partially immobilizing the injured area by using a sling, splint, or brace may also be a means of protection.

R:      Rest is important to allow for healing. However, many sports medicine specialists use the term “relative rest” meaning rest that allows for healing, but is not so restrictive that recovery is compromised or slowed. A person should avoid activities that stress the injured area to the point of pain or that may slow or prevent healing. Some movement, however, is beneficial. Gentle, pain-free, range-of-motion and basic isometric contractions of the joints and muscles surrounding an injury have been shown to speed recovery.

I:      Ice refers to the use of cold treatments, also known as cryotherapy, to treat acute injuries. Ice is recommended with the intent to minimize and reduce swelling as well as to decrease pain. There are many ways to employ cryotherapy at home. The most common and most convenient is a simple plastic bag of crushed ice placed over a paper towel on the affected area. It is important to protect the skin and limit the cold exposure to 10 to 15 minutes. Cycles of 10 to 15 minutes on and 1 to 2 hours off are generally agreed upon as effective and safer than longer periods of continuous ice application.
