I will support it.” Write a clear instruction or explanation for each situation. 1 A patient with a nosebleed needs to lean forward. ________________________________________________________________________ 2 You need to assess the patient's pain. Ask about its location and severity. ________________________________________________________________________ 3 A patient wants to put butter on a fresh thermal burn. Explain what to do instead. ________________________________________________________________________ 5 Correct the bystander Each statement needs correcting. Write one or two sentences. Use the update box on the first worksheet page. 1 “Ten minutes of cooling is always enough for a burn.” ________________________________________________________________________ 2 “He is coughing strongly, so I should start abdominal thrusts now.” ________________________________________________________________________ 3 “I cannot see the object, but I will try to pull it out with my fingers.” ________________________________________________________________________ 6 Paramedic and patient role play Work in pairs. Choose one card. Speak for two minutes, then swap roles. The paramedic should introduce themselves, ask at least three questions, explain their actions and reassure the patient. Card A | Suspected fracture You fell from a bicycle 15 minutes ago. Your left wrist is painful and swollen. Pain: 7/10. You did not hit your head. You take no regular medication. Card B | Scald You spilled hot tea on your right forearm five minutes ago. The skin is red and painful. You cooled it for two minutes. You have no known allergies. 7 Give a short handover Use the details from your role play. Do not invent assessment findings. Say “not yet assessed” if necessary. “This is a patient with ____________________. The injury happened __________. The patient reports ____________________. So far, ____________________. We still need to assess __________________________________________.” 8 Read the updated procedures Answer in English. Use the reading material at the beginning of this document. 1 How long should a thermal burn be cooled, and what should be avoided? ________________________________________________________________________ 2 Why should the age of a choking child change your actions? ________________________________________________________________________ 3 What should you do if a person becomes unresponsive and is not breathing normally? ________________________________________________________________________ 4 Which symptoms suggest heatstroke rather than uncomplicated heat exhaustion? ________________________________________________________________________ 5 What should you avoid doing with an open fracture? ________________________________________________________________________ 6 Which signs after an insect sting require an emergency response? ________________________________________________________________________ 9 Ask the questions that are missing Read the patient statements. Write two follow-up questions for each patient. Ask for information that is not already given. A “I cut my hand in the kitchen about ten minutes ago.” ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ B “I was working outside. Now I feel dizzy and sick.” ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ C “A bee stung me. I have had a serious reaction before.” ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 10 Explain without jargon Explain these words to a patient without using the word itself: fracture, scald, dressing, swelling. Your partner guesses the word. Then swap roles. 11 Discuss three simulated calls For each call: identify the main concern, suggest immediate first aid, write two questions, and prepare a 30-second handover. Use only known facts. Explain your reasoning to another pair. Call A | Kitchen injury A 36-year-old chef has spilled boiling water over his left hand and forearm. It happened eight minutes ago. A colleague has placed a wet towel on it. A ring is still on his finger. The patient is alert and reports pain of 8/10. Main concern and immediate actions ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Two questions ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Call B | Summer event A 58-year-old visitor has collapsed at an outdoor concert on a very hot day. She is confused and cannot answer simple questions. Her skin feels hot. Her friend says, “Give her a drink and wait half an hour.” Main concern and immediate actions ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Two questions for the friend ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Call C | Bicycle accident A 19-year-old cyclist is sitting beside the road. His right forearm looks deformed and he says his fingers feel numb. He is alert. A bystander wants to straighten his arm. It is not yet known whether he hit his head. Main concern and immediate actions ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Two questions ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 12 Listen and challenge Present one handover to another pair. Listeners ask one question about a missing detail and identify one clear patient instruction. Then discuss: Which findings could make you escalate the response?
