SUBJECT 1 · FIRST AID

What emergency measures should be taken to rescue a patient with full-body burns?

A
Cover the flames with sand to put out the fire.
B
Spray cold water on the body to put out the fire.
C
Use a fire extinguisher to put out the fire.
D
Help take off the burning clothes.
ANSWER · B
The safest way to rescue a person whose whole body is burning is to spray cold water on them to put out the fire. Other methods can harm or worsen the injuries. Skin damaged by burns is vulnerable: pathogens on sand or soil can infect it and make later cleaning and treatment difficult; fire extinguisher discharge can damage burned skin; removing burning clothing can cause secondary skin damage.
