First Aid
To activate and engage all kinds of skills and knowledge you have learnt in this unit through completing two tasks in English
Project 1:
Learn and teach others about first aid
In groups, choose one of the medical emergencies in the photos below.
Research how to perform first aid for that medical emergency.
Have the victim sit down and elevate the foot.
Put an ice pack on the ankle to reduce the swelling.
Put a firm bandage around the foot and ankle.
sprained ankle
Get the person to sit down, tilt his/her head forward slightly and gently pinch the soft part of the nose below the bridge.

If the person can cough, don’t do anything.
If he/she can’t cough and is turning blue in the face, hit him/her between the shoulder blades with the flat of the hand three or four times.
chocking
Heimlich
Do not move the broken bone if possible. Do not move the victim.
Support the broken arm in the most comfortable position.
Keep the arm still using a sling or get the victim to support the broken arm with the other arm.
Get medical help immediately.
broken arm
Make an instruction leaflet for giving first aid for that emergency. Include illustrations for any points that are not clear.
Combine all the leaflets to make a first-aid manual for your class.
Project 2:
Make your own first-aid kit
With a partner, research what should be included in a first-aid kit, how the items in the first-aid kit should be used, and in which emergencies they should be used.
Collect the items and put them in a box or container that is easy to store and find. In most cases, the items for a first-aid kit can be bought cheaply at a pharmacy.
Draw up an information sheet to go in the first-aid kit. It should include emergency phone numbers, a list of the items, and an explanation of how to use the items. Use the table below to help you.
