Scenario: Trang - Abrasion and Cuts On The Arm

Hi,
can someone help me with this scenario

Trang is working as an assistant educator in the Sparkling Stars Early Childhood Education and Care Centre observing a group of children in the outdoor play area and notices that four of the boys are running around screaming. She monitors their behaviour for any unsafe activity but besides being very noisy their behaviour is safe.
After a few minutes of doing this the boys start pushing each other. Trang quickly tries to intervene but unfortunately Simon pushes Isaac too hard and he falls, tripping over the step rail surrounding the sand pit. You rush over and notice Isaac, holding his left arm and huffing and puffing strangely but appears to be unhurt, the next thing Trang hears is Isaac screaming as he realises there is blood on his fingers. Trang approaches Isaac to inspect his arm. She notices that he has an abrasion that is approximately 2 centimetres and a cut that is about half a centimetre.
You must answer the questions below explaining what actions Trang should take in dealing with this situation.

4. If Isaac’s injury had been more severe such as a broken arm or a heavy laceration, what action should Trang take?
Guidance: Describe your response in detail

my answer is:
If Isaac had been more severely injured for example broken arm, Trang should immediately inform the supervisor and then call 911 for medical assistant. Till the doctor arrives, Trang should take 1st step of first aid. Take 2 plank of wood, about the same size of Isaac arm length, sterilise it and keep it on the either sides of his arm, then with the help of bandage secure it firmly, not tightly so that the arm does not moves. then tie it around the neck to secure the broken arm.
Once the doctor arrives, after the treatment has been done inform the parents about the same

3.2 Supplementary Questions: dietary requirements
3.2.1 Give an example of a common dietary restriction for children with type 1 Diabetes (Juvenile diabetes):
my answer
Serving low fat meals to children, as fat takes longer to digest and can cause elevation in blood glucose levels. Make sure that the meals do not contain more than the required amount of protein which is typically 6 ounces or less or it can impact on the blood glucose levels. Childen with type 1 Diabetes (Juvenile diabetes) should consume meals high in fibre as it absorb the sugar present in the blood.

3.2.2 Give an example of a common dietary restriction for Jewish children:
my answer
They only eat Kosher and they usually do not eat pork

3.2.3 Give an example of a common dietary restriction for Muslim children:
my answer
Muslim’s eat Halal meat and they don’t eat pork

can someone please check if my answers are correct or not

thanks
