  1. A passenger has been burned by a hot liquid spill in your vehicle. The first aid step is to:

    Answer: Cool the burn with cool (not ice cold) running water for at least 10 minutes

    Cool running water reduces burn depth and pain; ice and oils can worsen tissue damage.

  2. During an extreme weather emergency (tornado warning) while driving, what should a TLC driver do?

    Answer: Seek a sturdy building or low-lying ditch, avoid bridges and overpasses

    Overpasses funnel deadly wind; low-lying ground away from trees and a sturdy building are safest during tornadoes.

  3. If a passenger is experiencing heat stroke (hot, dry skin; confusion; no sweating), you should:

    Answer: Move them to a cool area, apply cool cloths, and call 911 immediately

    Heat stroke is life-threatening; rapid cooling and immediate EMS are critical to prevent organ damage.

  4. A passenger is unresponsive, and you begin CPR. How many chest compressions should you give per minute according to current guidelines?

    Answer: 100–120 compressions per minute

    Current American Heart Association guidelines recommend a compression rate of 100–120 per minute for effective CPR.

  5. You pick up a passenger who appears intoxicated and then becomes unresponsive. What should you do?

    Answer: Pull over safely, assess responsiveness, call 911, and monitor their breathing

    An unresponsive passenger may be in medical danger from alcohol poisoning or drug overdose, requiring immediate EMS response.

  6. Which of the following is a sign of internal bleeding following a collision?

    Answer: Rigid or tender abdomen, bruising, dizziness, and rapid weak pulse

    Internal bleeding presents with systemic shock signs — not visible blood — including abdominal tenderness and circulatory compromise.

  7. After a collision where airbags deployed, what should you do before assessing passengers for injury?

    Answer: Ensure the vehicle is off and safe to approach, then check for hazards like fuel leaks

    Scene safety — including disabling the vehicle and checking for fuel/fire hazards — protects both you and your passengers.
