Scenario - John Smith: Administering First Aid

[SNKhan]

hi

if someone can assist me in following questions

a) Yahma has cleaned the wound and applied a pressure bandage. it is apparent that john will need stitches in his calf. what action should now b taken?
My Answer: Yahma should contact john's parents and inform them about the accident and advice them to take john to doctor immediately or ask permission to take him to the doctor by herself

b) while Yahma was attending to john another educator finds the bike has a damaged pedal. it is extremely sharp. there is also blood on the path. list the follow up action that should occur in relation to this accident?
I) Wear gloves
II) Cover the area with an absorbent agent (e.g. kitty litter or sand) and allow the blood to soak in
III) Use a disposable scraper and pan to scoop up the absorbent material and any unabsorbed blood
or body fluids
IV) Place the absorbent agent, the scraper and the pan into a plastic bag or alternative; seal the bag
and put in the rubbish bin
V) Remove gloves and put them in the rubbish bin
VI) Mop the area with warm water and detergent; wash the mop after use
VII)Wipe the area with diluted bleach and allow to dry
VIII) Wash your hands with soap and water


Scenario
John Smith who is 4 years of age is riding a bike on the bike track. The educator Yahma had just spoken to john about his behaviour -going too fast and try to crash into the other children also riding bikes. Yahma reminded john of the safe bike riding rules.
Ten minutes later John again attempts to crash into the back of another bike rider. John's bike overturns and John screams. Yahma look up from talking to another child. As the nearest staff member. Yahma reaches him first and finds John has a deep cut on his calf and it is bleeding profusely. John has touched the wound. He has blood on his hands and the blood is seeping into his sock. He will not walk and he is too big to carry. Yahma does have disposable gloves with her. She has a First Aid Certificate and is authorised to administer first aid

QUESTION:

the sharp damaged pedal of bike

Remove the bike from the area away from the children. Get something (foam). sponge to cover the sharp pedal. Add a note to the bike to let other educators know that it needs to be repaired. If possible remove the pedal...
