Activity 3: Administering First Aid

Scenario: You and your two friends were hiking and along the trail you saw a man who is
unconscious with blood oozing from his head. How should you deal with this situation?

A. What is the first thing that you should do?

The first thing you should do in this situation is to ensure your own safety. Assess the surroundings
for any potential hazards or dangers, such as ongoing traffic or unstable terrain. Make sure it is
safe for you and your friends to approach the unconscious man before proceeding further.

B. List everything you think you would need to do as the first persons to arrive at the scene.

1. Call for emergency medical help: Dial the emergency services number (e.g., 911 in the
United States) to notify them about the situation and request immediate medical assistance.
Provide accurate details about the location, the condition of the injured person, and the
presence of any life-threatening symptoms.
2. Check for responsiveness: Gently tap the man's shoulder and ask loudly, "Are you okay?"
Observe for any response or signs of consciousness. If there is no response, it indicates that
the person is unresponsive.
3. Open the airway: Carefully tilt the man's head back and lift his chin to open the airway.
This helps ensure that the air passage is clear and allows for proper breathing.
4. Check for breathing: Look, listen, and feel for any signs of breathing for about 10 seconds.
Observe the chest for rise and fall, listen for breath sounds, and feel for airflow near your
cheek.
5. Perform CPR if needed: If the man is not breathing or only gasping, you should begin
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Start with chest compressions by placing the heel of
one hand on the center of the man's chest, interlocking your other hand on top, and pushing
hard and fast at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute. If you are trained in CPR,
you can also perform rescue breaths by pinching the man's nose shut, making a seal over
his mouth, and giving two breaths.
6. Control bleeding: If there is bleeding from the man's head, apply direct pressure to the
wound using a clean cloth or your hand. Maintain pressure until medical professionals
arrive. If possible, elevate the man's head slightly to help reduce bleeding.
7. Monitor vital signs: While waiting for medical help, continuously monitor the man's vital
signs, such as breathing and pulse rate. Provide this information to the emergency services
when they arrive.
Direction: Answer the following questions based on what you have learned based on the lesson.

1. If you will be administering first aid, what skills should you possess? Think of three important
skills and expound your answer. (5 points)

1. Map Reading and Navigation: In an emergency, having the ability to read and navigate
using a map can be crucial. It allows you to determine your location, plan the safest and
quickest route to a specific destination, and identify landmarks or points of interest that
can aid in the rescue or evacuation process. Understanding map symbols, scales, and
legends helps you interpret the information accurately. Additionally, being able to use a
compass to take bearings and orient yourself is essential for effective navigation.

2. CPR and Basic Life Support: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a vital skill that
can save lives in emergency situations where a person's breathing or heartbeat has
stopped. Knowing how to perform CPR correctly, including chest compressions and
rescue breaths, can maintain blood circulation and oxygen supply to the vital organs until
professional medical help arrives. Understanding the steps of the DRSABC (Danger,
Responsiveness, Send for help, Airway, Breathing, CPR) action plan enables you to
assess the situation, provide immediate care, and increase the chances of survival.

3. First Aid for Common Injuries and Illnesses: Being knowledgeable about first aid
techniques for common injuries and illnesses encountered during outdoor activities is
crucial. This includes knowing how to treat cuts, scrapes, punctures, sprains, strains,
fractures, concussions, blisters, burns, and scalds. Understanding proper wound cleaning,
bandaging techniques, immobilization methods, and pain management can prevent
further harm, reduce the risk of infection, and alleviate discomfort. Recognizing signs
and symptoms of various medical conditions and providing appropriate care or assistance
is essential for ensuring the well-being and safety of the affected individual.

Possessing these skills equips you with the ability to respond effectively and confidently in
emergency situations, providing immediate assistance and potentially saving lives. However, it is
important to note that while these skills are valuable, proper training, practice, and certification
are necessary to ensure proficiency and maintain up-to-date knowledge in administering first aid.

2. What are the health related benefits of orienteering? (5 points)

Orienteering provides several health-related benefits, including:

• Improved aerobic capacity and cardiovascular strength: Orienteering involves activities

such as walking, jogging, hiking, and running, which increase aerobic capacity and
strengthen the cardiovascular system.

• Development of physical fitness: Orienteering takes place in hilly and rugged terrains,
which provide an ideal environment for athletes and non-athletes to develop strong heart,
lungs, and legs.

• Mental stimulation: Orienteering requires fast decision-making skills, map reading, and
navigation, providing a balance of mental and physical exertion.

3.Why is risk management important in outdoor activities? (5 points)

Risk management is important in outdoor activities like orienteering for the following reasons:

1. Safety: Risk management helps ensure the safety of participants. Outdoor activities,
especially in unfamiliar terrains, can present various hazards such as uneven terrain,
wildlife encounters, extreme weather conditions, and the potential for getting lost. By
 identifying and assessing potential risks, appropriate measures can be taken to minimize
them and ensure the well-being of participants.

2. Emergency preparedness: Risk management involves planning for potential emergencies

or accidents. It includes equipping participants with necessary safety tools like whistles
for communication and first aid supplies. Having emergency plans in place, such as
knowing how to reorient oneself when lost or administering CPR in case of medical
emergencies, helps reduce the severity of accidents and ensures timely response and
assistance.

3. Navigation and orientation: Orienteering requires participants to navigate using maps and
compasses. Risk management emphasizes the importance of developing navigation skills
and understanding map symbols and legends. This ensures that participants can
accurately read maps, follow designated routes, and avoid getting lost in unfamiliar
terrains.

4. Equipment readiness: Risk management involves checking and ensuring the readiness of
equipment used in outdoor activities. This includes carrying a map bag or waterproof
covering for maps in case of rain, having a backup compass, and checking the condition
of gear to prevent equipment failure during the activity.

5. Physical and mental well-being: Risk management considers the physical and mental
capabilities of participants. It encourages participants to be physically fit and mentally
prepared for the challenges of outdoor activities. Engaging in risk-managed outdoor
activities like orienteering can contribute to increased aerobic capacity, cardiovascular
strength, decision-making skills, and overall well-being.

Overall, risk management in outdoor activities like orienteering is crucial for the safety,
preparedness, navigation, equipment readiness, and well-being of participants. It helps minimize
potential risks and ensures a positive and enjoyable experience outdoors.
