2. Read PP.87-88 “Text notes”.

3. Pre-read the passage on Page38

Ex. 4 on page 35

1.Wrong: Sam should not have broken the blisters because the burns could become infected. He should have poured cool water, not icy water on the burn.The correct treatment for a second degree burn like Sam’s is described in No. 2 of theexercise.

2. Right

Ex. 4 on page 35

3. wrong: Mr Casey was right to take his wife’s blouse off but he should not have picked bits of blouse off the burn. This is because if you pull material that is stuck off a third degree burn like Mrs Casey’s, you would pull the tissue under the material off too. This would cause more damage to the burn. He should not have put butter on the burn because it would have stopped the heat from escaping and it might also cause the burn to become infected.He should not have put a wet bandage on the burn.

Ex. 4 on page 35

3. The correct first aid for a third degree burn is to remove clothing and jewellery near the burn but not if the clothing is stuck to the burn. Do not put cold water on the burn. Place clean, dry cloths over the damaged area. Get the person to a hospital at once.

4. Right
