This is the video that my groupmates and I have prepared on how we can response if an injury from cuts have occurred. We showcase 2 scenarios in order to visualize different angles on how we can resolve an issue for cut problem.

Knife Cuts 
It is one of the most common scenario that may have occurred or will occur to everyone especially if you spends most of your time in the kitchen.  In the video, we an event wherein the main character needs to prepare a dish for her family, however, she accidentally cut her finger which causes for it to bleed excessively. 
 

In this case where the knife has cut the finger, this injury is relatively minor and it can be done by the injured individual itself. The treatment will be as follows:

 

First, wash your hands as we will be needing them for treatment. 

Immediately after, stop the bleeding by applying pressure on the wound, it is advised to use a clean cloth to soak up the blood whilst bleeding. 

Then, wash the wound area to clean it up and prevent dirt, bacteria and other foreign materials from causing infection.

If available, apply topical antibiotics and cover the wound appropriate for its size, it can be a simple band-aid, bandage or a clean cloth

Lastly, regularly check on the wound for infections and deal with them appropriately until the wound heals.

 

If it is a wound that causes the victim to bleed profusely, immediately apply pressure to the wound to minimize blood loss and establish contact with emergency services or a nearby hospital.

​

Animal Bite

Animal bites can be more tricky to deal with, particularly with the bacteria that live inside their mouths, this is guaranteed to bring complications to the victim more than the bite itself. To deal with them:

 

First, assess the bite. If it did not break the skin, wash the region with soap and water and apply a topical antibacterial cream for additional protection.

If it broke the skin and is bleeding, wash the area with water and apply pressure to stop the bleeding. Then, secure the wound with a bandage and immediately go to the hospital.

The situation proceeds according to the circumstances which can affect both the animal and the victim, rabies, in particular.

Know the animal’s vaccination history, if the animal is behaving erratically or is foaming at the mouth, it is very likely that the victim has contracted rabies, and it is absolutely necessary for the victim to get their rabies vaccine.

Finally, observe the bite for signs of infection, regularly change bandages and deal with the infection appropriately until the wound heals.
