Question 1571Deck Safety70% to pass
In any major injury, first aid includes the treatment for the injury and what secondary condition?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) for traumatic shock.
In any major injury, the primary focus of first aid is to treat the immediate injury. However, a secondary condition that must also be addressed is traumatic shock. Traumatic shock is a potentially life-threatening state that can develop as a result of severe injuries, blood loss, or other trauma. Treating for traumatic shock is a critical step in first aid, as it helps to maintain the victim's blood pressure and circulation, preventing further deterioration of their condition.
The other answer choices, while important in certain first aid situations, are not the secondary condition that must be addressed in the case of a major injury. Removal of foreign objects, CPR, and oxygen administration are all important first aid techniques, but they do not directly address the risk of traumatic shock.
