| Describe the symptoms for shock |
|
Definition
1. The pulse is weak and rapid.
2. Breathing is likely to be shallow, rapid, and irregular, because the poor circulation of the blood affects the breathing center in the brain.
3. The temperature near the surface of the body is lowered because of the poor blood flow; so the face arms, and legs feel cold to the touch.
4. Sweating is likely to be very noticeable.
5. A person in shock is usually very pale but in some cases, the skin may have a bluish or reddish color. |
|
|
Term
| Describe the treatment for shock |
|
Definition

2. Keep an injured person warm enough for comfort, but do not let the victim become overheated.
3. The best position to use to prevent or to treat shock is one that encourages the flow of blood to the brain. If possible, place the injured person on his or her back on a bed, a cot, or a stretcher.

| Describe the procedures necessary for the following as applied to electrical shock: Personnel Rescue |
|
Definition
1. Don't touch the victim's body, the wire, or any other object that may be conducting electricity.
2. Firstly, look for the power switch, and if accessible, shut off the current immediately.
3. Try to remove the wire from the victim with a dry broom handle, branch, pole, oar, board, or similar nonconducting object.
4. It may be possible to use dry rope or dry clothing to pull the wire away from the victim.
5. You can also break the contact by cutting the wire with a wooden-handled axe, but that is extremely dangerous because the cut ends of the wire are likely to curl and lash back at you before you have time to get out of the way. When you are trying to break an electrical contact, always stand on some nonconducting material, such as a dry board, newspaper, or clothing. |
|
|
Term
| Describe the procedures necessary for the following as applied to electrical shock: Treatment |
|
Definition

2. Check the victim's pulse, since electric shock may also cause the heart to stop. If you do not feel a pulse, immediately administer CPR.
3. Get the victim to a medical facility as soon as possible. |

| Define the following: HERO, HERP, HERF |
|
Definition
Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to:

|
|
Term
|
Definition
A material that would be a danger to life or to the environment if released without precautions.
Spilled material and contaminated clothing or rags with solvent are considered HAZMAT. |
|
|
Term
| Discuss how to store HAZMAT |
|
Definition
All containers must be tightly closed when not in use. Besides the danger of vapors accumulating, exposure to air can cause a chemical breakdown of some solvents. After a short time, the solvent may evaporate or decay to the point that it can't be used.
Solvent containers are considered hazardous waste, so you must dispose of them according to local hazmat regulations. When at sea, never throw solvent containers over the side; they contaminate the seas. Stow containers in a disposal storage area until you reach your next port of call and then have them disposed of in the proper manner. |
|
|
Term
