Description: Would you be a help or a hinderance in a medical emergency?

Question Number: 1

Question: You and Emily are out shopping at the outlet mall. She's holding up a dress with a $150 price tag when suddenly she cries out and falls to the ground, twitching. You:

	realize she's having a seizure and put a pen crosswise in her mouth to keep her from swallowing her tongue
	realize she's having a seizure and try to clear people and objects from around the area
	realize the dress is worth $475 (making her excited reaction totally understandable!) and search for one in your size

Question Number: 2

Question: You and your Uncle Harry are at the park playing basketball. You stop to eat and, after eating, Uncle Harry complains the hamburgers must have been bad. He's nauseous, is trying to burp, and is short of breath. You:

	get him some Tums from the car glove compartment and kid him for eating too much
	ask him if it feels like squeezing or pressure in his chest and if there is pain in his shoulder. it might not be gas but a heart attack
	Kid him for being "old" and hand him another beer; if he chugs some beer. it'll be easier for him to burp

Question Number: 3

Question: It's a beautiful, hot, sunny day and you and Henrietta skip work to go to the beach. Mid-afternoon, Henrietta puts her book down and says she has a headache. You suggest wading in the water, but when Henrietta stands up she says she feels week and dizzy. You:

	realize she's got heat exhaustion and drag her to the boardwalk for shade and a cold, non-alcoholic drink
	realize she's got heat stroke and call 9-1-1 from your cell phone
	realize her butt's bigger than yours and so stride a little more proudly than usual towards the water

Question Number: 4

Question: You're playing beach volleyball against Carl's team and win in a sudden, come-from-behind rally. Your team is whooping and hollering while Carl's team puts on a show of being dejected and forlorn. Carl, the consumate actor, even collapses on the sand. You walk over, teasing him, and kick his shoulder but he doesn't move. You bend down and tell him to stop playing, but realize he isn't breathing. You:

	realize he's in cardiac arrest, tell someone to get a lifeguard, and start CPR
	realize he's having a heat stroke and tell someone to bring a pail of water to cool him down with
	realize that beach volleyball means way more to him than you thought and regret your push to victory

Question Number: 5

Question: You and Sandra are on a trip to the zoo with your daughter's Girl Scout troop when you notice Sandra is slurring her words. You:

	think she might have picked up samonella from when the zookeeper handed her a lizard earlier in the tour and tell her to call her doctor
	think she might be having a stroke and ask her to do three things (smile, raise her arms, speak a simple sentence) to see if you need to call 9-1-1
	think she may have something other than water in the water bottle she's been sipping from and ask her if you could have some too

Question Number: 6

Question: You're at a family reunion. People have driven for hours to meet at your aunt's house for togetherness and pot-luck. Late in the day, after all the hot dogs and potato salad are gone, people are starting to feel nauseous. Your 6-year-old niece Fran, in particular, has diarrhea and a fever, and is vomitting all liquids. You:

	tell her parents it's probably food poisoning and Fran'll be fine with rest and Gatorade
	tell her parents it's probably food poisoning but they should call their pediatrician because Fran's at risk for dehydration
	tell her parents that you knew your sister-in-law was a lousy cook and this just proves it

Question Number: 7

Question: You go to your neighbor Hilda's house around 11am to help her with the gardening. Hilda answers the door looking haggard and says she can't garden today, she thinks she's come down with the flu this morning. You commisserate about the nausea, chills, and aches when she says the aching isn't that bad, it's just in her neck and jaw instead of all over. You:

	think she might be having a heart attack and stay with her while she calls her doctor
	think she might have food poisoning and offer to go to the store for Gatorade
	think the begonias she bought to put in the garden today won't last much longer and offer to take them off her hands to plant in your garden
