  1. A customer is found to have swallowed an unknown substance. What information should the door supervisor try to gather?

    Answer: What substance was taken, when, how much and the person's symptoms

    Paramedics and emergency services need to know the substance, quantity and timing to provide appropriate treatment; the symptoms observed help assess severity.

  2. What is the correct treatment for a minor burn?

    Answer: Cool with running water for at least 20 minutes, cover loosely and seek medical advice

    Running cool water over a burn for at least 20 minutes reduces tissue damage and pain; creams and butter trap heat; blisters should not be burst as they protect against infection.

  3. A customer is hyperventilating due to a panic attack. What is the appropriate response?

    Answer: Stay calm, speak reassuringly, encourage slow breathing and move them to a quiet area

    Calm reassurance and guided slow breathing help reverse the physiological effects of hyperventilation; moving to a quiet space reduces stimulation; bags are no longer recommended due to risk.

  4. What first aid should be given to a person who has spilled a chemical on their skin?

    Answer: Remove contaminated clothing and flood the area with clean water for at least 20 minutes

    Flooding with water dilutes and removes the chemical; removing contaminated clothing prevents ongoing exposure; neutralising agents can cause exothermic reactions and should be avoided.

  5. What is 'primary triage' at a multi-casualty incident?

    Answer: Rapidly categorising casualties by severity to prioritise treatment and transport

    Primary triage uses a simple system (e.g. SALT or SMART) to categorise multiple casualties by injury severity, ensuring limited resources are directed to those who will most benefit.

  6. When should a door supervisor stop CPR?

    Answer: When the patient shows signs of recovery, the AED advises no shock, qualified help takes over or the rescuer is too exhausted to continue

    CPR should continue until the patient recovers, a defibrillator advises no further shock needed, qualified personnel take over, or physical exhaustion makes continuation impossible.
