How the exam asks it

  1. For an (open) fracture you gently straighten the limb and bind the wound firmly.
  2. You give a victim with (impending) shock some water to drink for their thirst.
  3. Always leave blisters intact, so do not pop them and apply nothing, not even burn ointment, to the wound.
  4. You cool a burn as long and as cold as possible — the colder and longer the water, the better.

Correct answer: Always leave blisters intact, so do not pop them and apply nothing, not even burn ointment, to the wound.

  2. A victim with (impending) shock may not drink or eat, even if they are thirsty.
  3. You pop a burn blister so the fluid can drain and the wound heals faster.
  4. Cool the wound for ±10 minutes with lukewarm, gently running water and prevent hypothermia.

In a kitchen accident at a holiday cottage near Tilburg, someone gets a burn with clear blisters. How do you cool the wound?

  1. As long and as cold as possible, with ice water from the freezer
  2. ±10 minutes with lukewarm, gently running water, I leave the blisters intact
  3. I pop the blisters first so the cooling water works better
Show the answer

Correct answer: ±10 minutes with lukewarm, gently running water, I leave the blisters intact

±10 minutes of lukewarm water, not ice-cold and not endless — prevent hypothermia instead

Why learners get this wrong: You cool a burn as long and as cold as possible — the colder and longer the water, the better.

  3. Always leave blisters intact, so do not pop them and apply nothing, not even burn ointment, to the wound.

As a final step, damage handling follows: fill in the European accident report form together with the other party. This is independent of whether you agree
