Treating Fractures
Sometimes it’s very easy to tell if someone has suffered a fractured bone. But sometimes it’s not. If you suspect someone of having a fracture:

- Don’t try to straighten a fractured limb.
- Use a splint or padding to stabilize the area and keep it from moving.
- Apply a cold pack to the area. Don’t apply it directly to the skin. Wrap it in a cloth or put it in a plastic bag.
- Keep the area elevated, if possible.
- Give the person an anti-inflammatory drug, like ibuprofen.

Allergic reactions occur when your body is hypersensitive to a foreign substance. Bee stings, certain foods, or drug ingredients can cause allergic reactions. Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction that can be caused by all of those mention allergens.

The best way to treat an allergic reaction is to use an EpiPen. EpiPen, or “epinephrine autoinjector,” is a small and ergonomic needle that’s used to inject epinephrine (adrenaline) into someone suffering greatly from an allergic reaction. The epinephrine usually subdues the effects of the allergic reaction.

If someone is suffering from an allergic reaction
- Keep the person calm. Ask if they use an EpiPen and have one with them.
- Have the person lie on their back. Keep their feet elevated 12 inches.
- Make sure the person’s clothing is loose so they’re able to breathe.
- Avoid giving them food, drink, or medicine.
- If appropriate, use an EpiPen. Learn how to inject an EpiPen in someone having a reaction.
- Wait 5-15 minutes after using an EpiPen. If the allergic reaction isn’t subdued, a second dose may be required.

Treating Burns

Treat all burns immediately by cooling under cool running water for 20 minutes (avoid ice or icy water)

Before you apply treatment to burns, you need to identify the burn type and the severity of the burn.

There are four kinds of burns:
- First-degree burn: Only the outer layers of skin are burnt. The skin is red and swollen, and looks similar to a sunburn.
- Second-degree burn: Some of the inner layer of skin is burnt. Look for blistering skin and swelling. This is usually a very painful type of burn.
- Third-degree burn: All of the inner layer of skin is burnt. The wound has a whitish or blackened color. Some third-degree burns are so deep, there might not be any pain because the nerve endings are destroyed.
- Fourth-degree burn: A burn that has penetrated all tissues up to the tendons and bones.

Additionally, there are two kinds of burn severities: a minor burn and a major burn.
- Minor burn: First-degree burns and mild second-degree burns.
- Major burn: Moderate second-degree burns to fourth-degree burns.

Minor burns don’t usually need extensive treatment, but you could:
- Run cool water over the afflicted area (avoid icy or very cold water).
- Don’t break any blisters.
- Apply moisturizer over the area, like aloe vera.
- Keep the burned person out of sunlight.
- Have the burned person take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain relief.

Major burns are very serious injuries that require medical assistance. To help someone who has suffered from a major burn:
- Do not apply ointments.
- Cover wound with loose materials to prevent contaminants from infecting it.
