AnswerClick to flip back
A
In abdominal wounds the intestines may come out.
B
The only thing you can do as first-aider is to cover the wound with a very wet clean cloth and get the patient quickly to a hospital.
C
Open wounds of the chest could be sucking in the air, making it hard for the patient to breathe.
D
Covering of the wound with a piece of polythene and putting a bandage on the top of this may help to reduce air being sucked into the chest. Get the patient quickly to hospital.
💡 Explanation:
All options are correct. Chest/abdominal injuries are critical: abdominal wounds can cause intestines to protrude (A), chest wounds may suck air making breathing difficult (C). First aid response: cover abdominal wounds with wet clean cloth (B), for chest wounds use polythene/plastic to seal the wound and prevent air suction (D). In both cases, immediate hospital transfer is essential.
