CFSC Emergency Response & First Aid Techniques 2

Question 1

What is the first priority when a firearms-related injury occurs at a shooting range in Canada?

Accepted Answer

Ensure the scene is safe, secure all firearms, and call 911 immediately

Answer

Scene safety is always the first priority. All firearms must be made safe and emergency services called immediately for any firearms-related injury.

Question 2

How should direct pressure be applied to control severe bleeding from a gunshot wound?

Accepted Answer

Apply firm, continuous pressure with a clean cloth or dressing directly over the wound

Answer

Firm, continuous direct pressure with a clean cloth or dressing is the primary method to control bleeding. Pressure should not be released until professional medical help arrives.

Question 3

At a Canadian shooting range, who is responsible for calling a ceasefire in an emergency?

Accepted Answer

Anyone who identifies an unsafe situation or emergency may call ceasefire immediately

Answer

Under Canadian range safety protocols, any person who identifies an unsafe condition or emergency has the authority and responsibility to immediately call a ceasefire.

Question 4

What is the purpose of placing an injured unconscious person in the recovery position?

Accepted Answer

To keep an unconscious but breathing person's airway open and prevent choking on vomit

Answer

The recovery position keeps an unconscious, breathing casualty's airway clear and allows fluid to drain from the mouth, reducing risk of airway obstruction.

Question 5

When should a tourniquet be used for a firearms-related limb injury?

Accepted Answer

When severe, life-threatening bleeding from a limb cannot be controlled by direct pressure alone

Answer

A tourniquet is a last resort for life-threatening limb bleeding that cannot be controlled by direct pressure. Applied correctly and promptly, it can save a life.
