https://www.stanley1913.com/
n.d., these are the safety tips to
consider in engaging an
outdoor activity.
1. Plan Ahead. To make

4. Don’t go alone. Bringing a friend or two with you when you camp or hike can
be helpful if you encounter problems. Additionally, bringing experienced

travel principle, the goal of outdoor travel is to move through natural areas
while avoiding damage to land and waterways.

10. Be mindful of your group. If you are camping or hiking with a large group,
it’s important to be mindful of everyone’s comfort level and abilities. For
instance, if you are including new campers, it may be difficult for them to
camp in the backcountry for the first time. Additionally, inexperienced hikers
may find ten-mile hikes uncomfortable and dissatisfying. For everyone to
enjoy the outdoors safely, get the group’s perspective on what is and is not
attainable for your outdoor adventure. Lastly, assign roles for people so that
no one person is left doing all the work. For example, someone can be in
charge of cleaning up the campsite while another is in charge of cooking food.
This way, everyone will get to contribute to the excursion.
What is It
NegOr_Q4_PEH12_Modulea4a_V2

Burn
Burn is damage to the skin or other
body parts caused by extreme heat,
flame, contact with heated objects,
or chemicals.
• Immediately hold injury
under cold running water or
apply a cold, wet towel until
the pain subsides.
• Cover any small blisters with
and tape.
• Call a doctor as soon as possible if burns are on the face, hands, or genitals,
or if they're larger than 1/4 inch anywhere on the body.
• If the injury looks rooted, seek medical help immediately.
• For a burn covering a tenth of the body or more, don't use cold compresses;
call emergency hotline and cover up with a clean sheet or a blanket to prevent
hypothermia until help arrives.
• DO NOT pop any blisters yourself. If the skin breaks, apply antibiotic cream
and cover the area with a bandage or gauze until it's healed.
• Watch for any redness, swelling, tenderness, or discharge for these are all
signs of infection.
Insect Bite/Sting
It is a painful wound caused by the
thrust of an insect’s stinger into skin.
• If the insect left a stinger, gently
scrape the skin with your
fingernail to remove it without
breaking it.
• Refrain from using tweezers
because that can squeeze more
venom out of the stinger,
causing further injury.
• Call emergency personnel if you Gina, 2020
have trouble breathing, coughing,
or develop a hoarse voice, hives, or swollen lips or tongue.
Splinter
NegOr_Q4_PEH12_Modulea4a_V2
7
Splinters are objects that become
embedded under the skin.
• Use soap and water to wash
around the splinter.
• Clean a pair of tweezers with
rubbing alcohol and slowly pull the
splinter out. Rewash the skin.
• If you come across a fragment
that is hard to remove, leave it for a day
or so to see if it will come out on its
own.
Sunburn
Sunburn is the term for red, sometimes swollen, and painful skin caused by
overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. Sunburn can vary from mild to
severe.
• If you feel dizzy, weak, sick to your
stomach, or are spiking a high fever—or if
the burn is severe (oozing blisters form
within 48 hours) and covering a
significant portion of your body—go to the
Emergency Room.
• If your only symptoms are discomfort and
redness, apply cold compresses and aloe
vera lotion and take some ibuprofen.
• Avoid creams with petroleum, which can
cause infection, or anything ending in -
Caine. When not administered by a
professional, these drugs may be
dangerous. Jacobs, 2020
Nosebleed
A nosebleed is blood loss from
the tissue that lines your nose. It
can affect both nostrils, but most
often occurs in only one nostril.
• Sit upright and don't tilt
your head back. Loosen any
tight clothing around your neck.
• Pinch the lower end of the
nose close to the nostrils and
lean forward while you apply
Kennedy, 2020 constant pressure for five to ten

8
minutes.
• Don't release and check the nose; it could prolong the bleeding.
• If the nosebleed is the result of trauma, you can reduce swelling by holding an
ice pack against the bridge of the nose after the bleeding slows down.
• If it persists for more than ten minutes or returns later, call medics or seek
medical help in order to check for breakage.

ankle at about a 90-degree angle. Start where your toes meet the body of
your foot. Hold the loose end of the bandage at the side of your foot. Wrap the
bandage around the ball of your foot once, keeping it somewhat taut with a
light pull.
• After this, slowly start circling your way around the arch of the foot. Pull the
bandage diagonally from the bottom of the toes across the foot's top and
circle it around the ankle. Now bring the bandage diagonally across the top of
the foot and under the arch in a figure-eight pattern.
• When you get to the ankle bone, wrap the bandage around the felt piece so it
stays in place under the ankle bone. Continue around the ankle and foot in a
figure eight, moving toward the heel on the bottom and toward the calf at the
top of the eight.
• The wrap should cover the entire foot and end about 7 centimetres above the
ankle. Most compression wraps are self-fastening or come with clip fasteners.
If not, use tape to secure the end. The wrap should be snug but should not cut
off circulation to the foot.
Fractures
Fractures are broken bones, and they can occur as
a result of falls or other harsh impacts.
◆ Stop Bleeding, if Necessary
• Cut away clothing if it cannot be removed without moving the injured body
part.
• Gently tape the dislocated area or fracture to a rolled-up newspaper, ruler,
stick, or a rolled-up piece of clothing with first aid tape. In general, try to
include the joint above and below the injury in the splint. As much as possible,
avoid moving the injured limb, and never force it or try to twist it back into
place.

• Experience loss of feeling at the injured site
• Experience loss of warmth beyond the injured area.
What’s More
First aid steps you can take after a snake bite occurs include cleaning the
wound, remaining calm, and immobilizing the affected area. However, it’s essential
to get to a medical facility immediately for emergency treatment. If treated in time,
the outlook for recovery is good.
