FIRST AID INFORMATION Rhonda Sexton, RN School Nurse-Teacher

Good Samaritan Laws The “Good Samaritan” is required to use common sense and a reasonable level of skill, not to exceed the scope of the individuals training in emergency situations.

Activating the EMS system Do you know how to call for emergency services? Any time an EPI-Pen is given; 911 has to be called. Life threatening Emergencies: Unconscious, No breathing or breathing in a strange way, No heartbeat, severe bleeding. This is situation when you would call for rescue and calling for nurse. Make plan for other students if emergency arises (ie. Have students go next door to adjoining class) Calling for the nurse

Minor Wounds All wounds need to be evaluated by the school nurse. If someone is bleeding, what do you do? Put on gloves, if available. Small wounds are cleaned with soap and water Place a clean gauze pad over the wound and apply pressure. If the student is alert, have the student perform these steps. If you do not have gloves, have the injured person hold the gauze. All wounds need to be evaluated by the school nurse.

Major Wounds What is a “Major” Wound? Punctures, gashes, loss of skin tissue, bleeding. Do not wash Major wounds—Call for help immediately Apply direct pressure to wound, (Remember Universal Precautions) DO NOT USE TOURNAQUETTE!!! Penetrating wounds—Do not remove object-Call for help—This is an emergency.

Nosebleeds: What to do…. Have student sit down and lean forward. Use tissue or paper towel. Have student use his/her thumb & index finger, squeeze soft part of nose. This part is between end of nose and the bridge of nose. Continue holding till bleeding stops- Do not stop in-between. If bleeding continues, hold for another 10 minutes If nosebleed is severe, or bleeding cannot be controlled, call for nurse to come to your room. Goal is to stop bleeding and prevent contamination with blood. Call maintenance to clean area in room/hall if contaminated with blood.

Burns Minor Burns—Run cool water over the burn, or soak in cool water for at least five minutes Send to health room for evaluation. Do not put lotion or ointment on the burn Chemical burn-flush skin with water-call for help.

EYE INJURIES All Eye injuries need to be evaluated by the school nurse. Do not rub, touch or press the eye. (Explain this to student) Minor eye irritations can be treated by flushing the eye. Do not attempt to remove foreign body For chemical injuries—Irrigate eye-flush with water-call for nurse immediately. Penetrating eye injuries; sudden acute eye pain; sudden loss of vision; Chemical burns---All require immediate attention and are considered emergencies!

Seizures…. What do you do? Call for help. Gently place student on floor, remove nearby objects. Loosen clothing around head and neck Place soft cloth/cushion under head. Do not try to prevent the child from shaking Do not put anything in the child’s mouth Fluid/vomit in mouth-Roll, the child onto his/her side.

Head, Neck and Back Injuries…. If a head/neck or back injury is suspected--- DO NOT MOVE VICTIM! The only time that a victim is to be moved, is if a life is in danger. If a student falls… Stay with student Call for help. Have the victim remain in the position that you found him or her in.

Head Injuries All head injuries must be evaluated by the school nurse. Do not move student if he/she complains of neck pain or vision changes, or loss of consciousness.

HAVE A SAFE AND HEALTHY SCHOOL YEAR!!!
