Answer:

  • Immediate risks: the student may lose a lot of blood and there is a high possibility that he may get an infection. Both are very dangerous, so it is necessary to act quickly.
  • First steps to be followed: someone should call 911 and ask for help, then they should start compression to stop or decrease the bleeding.

Explanation:

As we can see in the question above, a student fell and suffered a serious fracture, leaving his leg bone exposed. This means that the student has suffered an external fracture. it is necessary to act quickly so that he does not have complications.

An external fracture is one in which the bone breaks and breaks the muscles and the skin coming into contact with the outside. This generates a large wound, resulting in heavy bleeding.

The first step to be taken in this case is to call 911 immediately and call for help. This is because heavy bleeding can make the boy weak, make him pass out and is a big risk to the boy's life. Then someone should take a clean cloth and try to stop the bleeding or slow it down while help arrives. It is essential that this cloth is clean, because as the bone has opened a wound in the skin, the boy is at great risk of infection.

Immediate risks are bleeding and infection. The first steps to take would be to call a teacher or staff member, call 911, and try to stop the blood flow.

Obviously it would be different for you with your story but here's mine.

When I was about four years old, my parents divorced and I was devastated. I hated being away from my mom or my dad. Plus listening to other kids talk about how they're going on a "family trip" when my family was separated. Then my dad moved away and I felt really down from when I was about seven to eight. Although then I realized that I'm pretty lucky to have a mom and a dad who love, and care for me, even if they are apart at least I have them. Also knowing that I'm lucky to have a home, running water , electricity,etc. Now I'm older and whenever I have to leave my mom or dad, I'm not sad , instead I feel great ful to be spending time with whoever I'm with at the moment.

__________ can speed up alcohol absorption.
In-s [12.5K]
Carbonation can speed up alcohol absorption. What this means is that when alcohol is mixed with soda or other bubbly substances speeds up the passage of the alcohol from the stomach to the small intestines, which then causes the speedy rate of absorption. 

There are also other factors that affect alcohol absorption in the body and these are: gender, body weight, stress, medication, health concerns, and the way you drink alcohol (e.g. chugging or sipping). Due to these reasons, each individual has a different variation of intoxication and level of tolerance with alcoholic beverages.
