Briefly explain what the DRSABCD first aid method involves. - **Answer:** DRSABCD is an acronym for the primary assessment process: D - Danger, R - Response, S - Send for help, A - Airway, B - Breathing, C - Circulation/CPR, D - Defibrillation. 2. What is the purpose of placing a casualty in the recovery position? - **Answer:** The purpose of the recovery position is to keep the airway open and prevent fluid from entering the lungs. 3. What should you do if a casualty is breathing but unresponsive?  - **Answer:** Place the casualty in the recovery position and monitor them until medical help arrives. 4.

How should you manage a casualty experiencing shock due to blood loss? - **Answer:** Control bleeding with direct pressure, monitor vital signs, keep the casualty calm and comfortable, and await medical assistance. 2. How is a casualty assessed during the secondary survey? - **Answer:** The secondary survey involves evaluating the casualty’s medical history, checking for other injuries from head-to-toe, and using the SAMPLE acronym to gather necessary information. 3. Explain how the AVPU scale is used to assess a casualty’s consciousness. - **Answer:** The AVPU scale assesses consciousness by checking the casualty’s response to Alertness, Voice, Pain, and determining if they are Unresponsive. 4. What steps should be taken when an airway obstruction is discovered? - **Answer:** Open the airway using the head-tilt/chin-lift maneuver, remove visible obstructions with fingers, and place the casualty in the recovery position if breathing normally. 5. How does the triage system aid in disaster management? - **Answer:** The triage system sorts casualties based on the severity of their condition, ensuring that each patient receives appropriate care at the right time, prioritizing treatment and medical resources. #### Advanced Level 1. Explain how the SAMPLE acronym is used to gather information about a casualty during the secondary survey. - **Answer:** The SAMPLE acronym helps collect information: S - Signs & Symptoms, A - Allergies, M - Medications, P - Past medical history, L - Last meal, E - Events leading to the incident. 2.
