TASK 1: Search and describe the following outdoor recreation common first aid injuries.

1. Cuts, scratches and scrapes are minor skin wounds like a small puncture or skinned knee that
may or may not draw blood. Anytime our skin is broken, whether it bleeds or not, there is a
risk for infection.
2. A burn is an injury to the skin or other organic tissue primarily caused by heat or due to
radiation, radioactivity, electricity, friction or contact with chemicals.
3. A bite is when an insect (like a mosquito, flea, or bedbug) uses its mouth to break a person's
skin, usually so it can feed. When an insect bites, it releases saliva that can cause the skin
around the bite to become red, swollen and itchy. A sting is when an insect uses another
body part, such as a barbed stinger at its tail end, to pierce the skin and inject venom (like a
poison). The venom from a sting often also causes a swollen, itchy, red mark (a weal) to form
on the skin. This can be painful, but it's harmless in most cases.
4. Splinters are objects that become embedded under the skin. Most often these are tiny pieces
of wood, although glass, metal, and plastic can be splinters too. Taking a splinter out as soon
as you spot it helps prevent infection and makes removal easier (since the skin won't have
time to heal over the splinter).
5. Sunburn is skin damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays. It usually causes the skin to become
red, sore, warm, tender and occasionally itchy for about a week. The skin will normally start
to flake and peel after a few days and will usually fully heal within 7 days.
6. A nosebleed happens when one of the blood vessels in the lining of the nose bursts.
Nosebleeds may be caused by infection, injury, allergic reaction, nose picking or an object
being pushed into the nostril.
7. Sprains are ligament injuries resulting from wrenching or twisting a joint. Strains are injuries
to a muscle or tendon, and are often caused by overuse, force, or stretching. A tear refers to a
more severe sprain or strain that involves the complete separation of ligaments, muscles,
and/or tendons.
8. A fracture is a broken bone, the same as a crack or a break.
