- isolating substances from my body Using barrier devices, uniform, gloves, goggles, apron, masks, etc.

how to care for someone in shock?

- lay down - Keep them warm to keep blood warm bc flow is best when warm - Feet elevated to push blood back down to vital organs (do not do this during spinal precautions)

Penetrating injury in eye:

- secure object so it doesn't move - never pull it out - use a cup to secure it - cover both eyes bc when one eye moves they both move (Clean area, secure object, bandage)

Carrier state: Active state:

- infectious but no signs, cannot tell person is sick - infectious and presenting with symptoms and signs, can tell someone is sick

Ventilation (2 rescue breaths):

1. Mouth to mouth (we do not do this as clinicians) 2. Mouth to mask/barrier (when alone) 3. BVM: bag valve mask (AMBU Bag) → use this as a team - This is most effective, using 100% oxygen - Plugs into oxygen source

treating for Heat exhaustion:

1. Try to cool down - behind neck - under arms - behind knees - under feet - lower back - -n groin → DONT do this all at once bc its too extreme 2.
