BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF THE LESSON
Unintentional injuries can be characterized as “any injury that is not caused on purpose or with
the intention to harm”. It is a broad category that includes injuries from causes such as motor
vehicle collisions, falls, poisoning, drowning, suffocations, and work-related or sports-related
injuries.
First Aid is an important and temporary care given to a person who suddenly gets ill or injured. It
includes self-help and home care if medical assistance is not available or delayed. It can mean the
difference between life and death in extreme cases. However, we must know the limits of the first
aid we can give because improper first aid can do more harm than good in some instances. Anyone
who gives first aid is a first aider. The Objectives of First Aid are to save lives, prolong life,
alleviate suffering, and prevent further injury.

ACTIVITY: EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY! WHAT WILL I DO?

Directions: On your answer sheet, write down your immediate action to the following situations.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF THE LESSON
A dressing is a piece of cloth that covers a wound to prevent infection and/or to stop
bleeding. It is a sterile pad or compress that is applied to a wound to promote healing and protect it
from further infections. A dressing is intended to come into direct contact with the wound, as
opposed to a bandage, which is typically used to keep a dressing in place. Dressing is an essential
element of standard wound care. The main purpose of wound dressing is to provide a temporary
protective physical barrier, absorb wound drainage for successful wound closure.
A wound is a break in the continuity of a tissue in the body. It may be closed in which there is no
break or damage in the skin. It is also called hematoma/contusions (bruise or discolored skin on the
body).
ACTIVITY: Picture Analysis
