The first thing you <em>should</em> do is to report it to a trusted adult or authority figure whether that be their or your parents, or the school counselor/resource officer.

However, after you do that, you can try to care for them and comfort them as much as you can. It is recommended that you don't give them overbearing care as that can cause them to feel worse about themselves. If they do begin to hurt themselves, tell an adult.

The best thing to do is talk to them. Don't go straight to the topic of their suicide or reason for it, but ask around the bush. Make sure they stay happy, not fake happy, but actually happy. Stay by their side.  For now keep it to yourself, but you should tell an adult when you enough information on why their so sad. Keep a close eye on them and protect them from any type of person that might want to verbally or physically harm them. Make sure they aren't trying self-harm and make sure they know they're not alone. NEVER yell at them unless it's yelling like play-yelling (joking) or something to make them smile like a proud/motivational speech or something. Make sure that you stay with them through everything.

A friend is a friend and that's what they should do.

Health promotion is an indirect way of improving public health. Health protection involves direct action to curb the growth and
svetoff [14.1K]

For the examples given, health promotion would be the education of the public about substance abuse. They are putting the idea of substance abuse being bad in the public's head. Thereby, attempting to improve public health although, there's no guarantee.

Banning smoking in public places is a "health protection" because it's a physical act that is attempting to make the public health better.

Testing food if also a "health protection" because it's a physical way to make sure that people do not end up with foodborne illnesses or hepatitis' related to dirty food/soil/etc.

Which of the following is NOT a contraindication for the use of a traction​ splint?A. Severe swelling and redness at a midshaft
kifflom [539]

Answer: The rigth answer is: A. Severe swelling and redness at a midshaft femur

Explanation:  There are some contraindications for the use of a traction splint among them are: -Injuries near the knee and injuries of the hips and / or pelvis and amputation of some part of the limb, therefore option B and D are incorrect. The traction splint firmly grabs the ankle, if there is an injury that interferes with the hitch, it cannot be placed, so option C is incorrect. If there is a femur fracture, it is very common to find severe swelling and redness in the femur of the middle axis and there is no problem with placing the traction splint because the purpose of this is to stabilize the fracture.

Answers:

1. Three problems associated with alcohol

a. High blood pressure
b. Liver and kidney disease or cancer
c. Heart diseases

2. “The direct answer to this question is that the government does not decide the legal status of drugs based on scientific assessment of potential for harm.

The ranking of drugs is a very interesting and controversial topic (subject to the apples and oranges problem), but it is simply not the basis by which governments make these decisions. The chart is worth analyzing, but it won't answer the question.

Practically speaking, making alcohol illegal is untenable. It was attempted in the United states in the 1920s, and I am not aware of any credible historians that consider prohibition to have been a success. Alcohol use has been present amongst humankind for millennia. It spans society, race, social class, etc. It does certainly present great potential for harm, individually through the detrimental health effects of abuse, and societally through the impact of impaired decision making, most notably drunk driving.

Despite that, alcohol also clearly provides some benefits that drive some people to use it. Others choose not to use it at all. Many use it without issue, and some develop problems. It is an effective social lubricant. In many cultures it is a common component of traditional celebrations, and in some cultures it is even a component of formal business interactions. It is one of the central rituals in the Catholic church.

Many of the problems associated with alcohol use can be reasonably mitigated without blanket prohibition, i.e. drunk driving and age restrictions. Many of the problems are also solved through basic social structures, in which friends and family address issues independently.

Given the above, the clear follow-on question is why these other, less harmful, drugs are illegal? If alcohol has demonstrated that it is actually more effective to manage these problems with regulation, how are other legalization decisions being made?

Those are much more complicated questions. The brief answers have to do with legacy (less history of widespread human use with other chemicals) and institutional racism.”

This is from the web so find details that will helped you and make sure to paraphrase!!
