In which of the following situations does the book say you call 112 for a bleeding wound? (multiple answers possible)
- A graze with only some superficial bleeding
- ✓ A wound with a fracture, or signs of (impending) shock
- ✓ Severe bleeding that cannot be stopped
- ✓ A deep or penetrating wound, such as a stab wound
- A small nick that stops bleeding on its own after a minute
Correct answer: A wound with a fracture, or signs of (impending) shock; Severe bleeding that cannot be stopped; A deep or penetrating wound, such as a stab wound
Explanation
False — The book names 112 for severe or unstoppable bleeding; a nick that stops on its own does not fall under that
Why learners get this wrong
- Superficial bleeding from a graze is not in the book's list for 112; that list is deliberately limited to the more serious cases
- The book names 112 for severe or unstoppable bleeding; a nick that stops on its own does not fall under that
