Question 6 • [HSHEAC] Health Sem 2 (26-27)

Amelie is working with a beaker and accidentally breaks it. She looks down and realizes that her hand is bleeding. Amelie is pretty sure that her injury is not serious enough to require stitches. How should she respond to this injury?

Answer
A
ask for help from the teacher
B
immediately dial 911 to speak to a medical professional
C
wipe the blood off and ignore the injury since it is not serious
D
focus on cleaning up the broken glass on the floor so someone else does not get injured

Explanation

Amelie should tell the teacher right away so the injury can be assessed and treated safely, even if she thinks it does not need stitches. The broken glass also needs to be handled safely, but she should not clean it up while bleeding; the teacher can arrange for the glass to be cleared. Calling 911 is not usually necessary for a minor cut.
