First aid lesson carrying
This document provides guidelines for positioning and moving patients in emergency situations:
- Reposition patients only when necessary, placing unresponsive and non-trauma patients in the recovery position on their side. Do not move trauma patients unless treating a life-threatening condition.
- Carry patients using proper lifting techniques to prevent injury, checking for injuries first. Use emergency carries like the firefighter's carry or pack-strap carry only if the patient faces immediate danger and you cannot otherwise provide care.
- When moving a patient with help, use assisted walking, two-person seat carries, or extremity carries down steps, supporting the patient's weight appropriately. Control bleeding through direct pressure, elevation, pressure bandages,
Basic Carries

Principles.of first aid edith
First aid is immediate care for injured or ill persons until full medical treatment is available. It includes steps like controlling bleeding, treating for shock, and calling for help. Key principles of first aid response include assessing safety, checking consciousness, breathing, and circulation, and calling for emergency help if needed. Proper first aid management of common injuries and illnesses includes treating wounds, sprains, fractures, fever, headache, abdominal pain, and vomiting/diarrhea by addressing symptoms, elevating injuries, applying pressure or ice as needed, and seeking further care if the condition does not improve. First aiders should remove victims from danger, treat life threats first, and use appropriate carries or drags to transfer patients as required by their condition

Different widths of roller bandages are suited for specific body areas like fingers, wrists, ankles, and legs. Splinting is used to stabilize injuries, reduce pain and prevent further damage. Types of splints include air splints, pillow splints, and buddy taping. Slings are used to support injured arms, immobilizing and protecting the area as it heals. The document provides guidance on bandaging and splinting different body areas like the head, shoulder
Bandaging
Bandages are used to support injured body parts, immobilize areas like dislocated joints, apply pressure to stop bleeding, and secure dressings in place. The key principles for applying bandages are to start from the inner aspect moving outward, overlap turns by 2/3, and end the bandage on the outer side of the body. Common bandage types include triangular, gauze, adhesive, and different wrapping methods like circular, spiral, and figure-of-eight are used depending on the body part. Special considerations are needed for injuries around joints, the head, eyes, ears, fingers and other areas.

Trg 263 Patient Transfer (2709)
This document provides guidance on proper techniques for transferring aging patients to prevent injuries. It outlines steps to ensure the caregiver, environment, and patient are prepared for safe transfers. Key points include wearing supportive shoes and using a transfer belt for the patient. Caregivers should communicate their plan, support the patient's weight gradually, and use mechanical lifts as needed for heavy patients or those prone to resistance. When walking a patient, the belt should be applied around the hips and held to provide back support as the caregiver walks slightly behind and to the side of the patient.
Transportation of injured
1) There are several methods for transporting injured individuals depending on the severity of injuries and number of available assistants. These include carrying methods like cradle carry, human crutch, and fireman's lift as well as dragging and stretcher techniques.
2) When two assistants are available, injured persons can be transported using two-handed or four-handed seats, on a chair with cloth restraints, or using the fore and aft carry method.
3) Stretchers like the standard Furley stretcher, pole and canvas stretcher, and trolley cot can also be used to transport injured casualties, especially for longer distances or those with suspected spinal injuries.
POSITIONING-A-PATIENT-IN-BED.pptx
1) The document provides guidance on properly positioning patients in bed to maintain alignment, skin integrity, and comfort while preventing injuries.
2) Key steps include assessing the patient, planning the movement, and using proper body mechanics and assistance when needed to move or turn the patient.
3) Pillows and other supportive devices can be used strategically to maintain proper positioning and alignment of the body.

1. Diabetes can slow the body's ability to fight infections. High blood sugar allows bacteria to grow more quickly, leading to infections developing more rapidly. Most infections in people with diabetes can be treated successfully if recognized early and treated properly.
2. Foot problems are common in people with diabetes due to increased risk of nerve damage, poor blood flow, abnormal foot pressure, and weakened ability to fight infection. These factors often combine and result in foot ulcers and infections that can progress to gangrene or need for lower limb amputation.
3. Preventing foot ulcers is extremely important and involves regular foot exams, identifying feet at high risk, quickly treating any foot issues, educating patients and healthcare providers,
