Hi list
Found this question on an old first aid multiple choice paper.
A young girl faints during an exercise class at first what would you expect
her pulse to be?
a) faster than normal
b)slower than normal
c)normal
d)absent
The book claims the answer to be A. Do you all agree with this?
---> Well, the latest and greatest say that the answer is...
e) depends who's feeling for the pulse...
Strikes me as a very poor question indeed, anyway. First aiders, if
anything, should be taught how to assess a patient to the extent they can,
rather than try to anticipate in advance what they'll find and then (worse)
try to diagnose what it means...
