Potawatomi First Aid Meet 2014 Problem A Green Leader #2 Runner #4 Four members of your troop are working on the cross- country skiing portion of the Snow Sports merit badge at the Old World Wisconsin State Park near Eagle, Wisconsin. Mr. Nelson, a ski instructor and father of one of the scouts, has been working with your group for several weeks. He has decided that you are ready for the challenging Blue Trail. At 9:00 AM, with a 0 wind chill, your group and Mr. Nelson put on their skis, and head down the trail. Everything was going well for the first two miles. 45 minutes after starting, you reach the merger with the Black Trail. Suddenly a skier from the Black Trail cuts in front of scout Elliot. Elliot panics and jumps off of the groomed trail. He skis uncontrolled several hundred feet downhill before tumbling into a large bush. Unfortunately, under the bush was a coyote den. A young coyote jumps out of the den, bites Elliot s right hand, and runs off into the woods. Mr. Nelson and the rest of your group stop as soon as they can. When your group arrives at Elliot s side, you notice several long thorns from a Hawthorn bush sticking out from Elliot s pants. The thorns have penetrated the fabric and gone into his lower left leg. Torn flesh on his right hand is seeping blood. Mark, another of your group, had remembered to take his medication before he left home, but forgot to bring his hat. He hadn t eaten anything since leaving home. With the strenuous skiing he is not feeling well. He tells the group he has a headache, he feels weak, and is dizzy. The group notices that he looks pale, has shallow breathing, and a rapid pulse. Mark falls to the ground but is conscious. While on the ground, Mark complains that his ear hurts. Upon inspection, the group notices that his left ear has grayish- white patches of skin. Mr. Nelson and the two uninjured scouts move the victims back to the trail, and then to a nearby warming house. Describe (but do not perform) how you would move both scouts back to the trail using a Shoulder drag. Treat both victims.
Potawatomi First Aid Meet 2014 Problem B GOLD Leader 3, Runner 1 It all started when Wilson picked up the scorpion. Troop 45 was camping at the Gorham Scout Ranch north of Sante Fe, New Mexico. Your crew of 10 scouts and leaders had gone out in the blazing sun to spend about an hour exploring the area around your campsite. Your leaders suggested cooling off with a swim. About 11 AM your crew headed to the swimming pool, Wilson and Julius dropped far back. When Wilson spied the scorpion, he picked it up, closing his right hand over it so he could show it to the rest of your group when they caught up. The scorpion stung him right in the center of his hand. Wilson screamed. Julius said, I hear someone over here. Follow me. Julius ran into the bush, down a hill with Wilson behind him. They didn t see the sign that said Fleming Archery Range. Stay on the Trail. A scout at the range was startled and released his arrow. It went way off target, hitting Julius in the left bicep, going about an inch deep. Julius fell down. Wilson tripped over him. Wilson broke his fall with his left arm. Hearing their screams, you and your crew ran back and found Julius and Wilson on the ground at the edge of the archery range. The arrow had dropped out of Julius s arm. There is a slow flow of blood running down from the wound. Julius says he is dizzy and thirsty and then faints. His skin is pale, cool, and sweaty. Wilson was screaming about the scorpion bite on his right palm, but he was having trouble moving his left arm to reach his right hand. Something snapped. You press gently on a red spot in the middle of his lower left arm. Wilson says, That hurts! Treat Wilson and Julius.
Potawatomi First Aid Meet 2014 Problem C - Blue Leader #1 Runner #2 Troop 26 is running its annual gourmet campout in the Camp Reinberg dining hall off of Quentin Road in Palatine, Illinois. Patrols compete to provide a full day of meals with great food and imaginative presentations. The Moosehead patrol has pulled out all the stops this year. Their signature dish is Alaskan salmon with a side of veggie fries. The patrol was so confident in their dish that they invited the District Chairman, Russell Jefferson, to dine with them that evening. Mr. Jefferson joked loudly with the patrol that if the food tasted bad, he would used the EpiPen attached to his belt for additional seasoning. Back in the kitchen, scout Nick has finished his salmon preparations. He slides the salmon into a pan that contains hot peanut oil for a quick pan- searing. Nick mentions to his fellow scouts that he hasn t been hungry since breakfast. A pain in his abdomen has been getting worse over the past few hours. Nick is able to fight through his increasing discomfort to deliver a delicious meal to his waiting critics at 6PM on the dot. He served the salmon at the table, directly from the pan. Mr. Jefferson takes the first bite of the salmon and proclaims it is the best he has ever had. He takes a few additional bites. He asks Nick what the special ingredient was in the salmon recipe. Before Nick can answer, Mr. Jefferson s breathing turns into wheezing as he struggles to take another breath. When he attempts to talk, you notice his tongue is swollen. He is fumbling along his belt. Scout Nick grabs at his abdomen in pain, knocking the hot frying pan off the table. Both Nick and Mr. Jefferson fall to the floor simultaneously. Mr. Jefferson falls face first to the concrete floor and knocks out one of his teeth on impact. Hot oil from the pan splashes onto Nick s right forearm, causing blisters to form. Treat Mr. Jefferson and Scout Nick.
Potawatomi First Aid Meet 2014 Problem D Pink Leader #4, Runner #2, CPR #1 It is about 2:00 pm on a warm but pleasant summer afternoon. You and your troop are hiking Big Pines Trail in the Big River State Forest, near Keithsburg, IL. You see spectacular views of the Mississippi River as you reach the junction where Big Pines Trail meets Lincoln s Trail. Below the main trail, an abandoned wooden shack surrounded by piles of junk attracted the attention of two scouts in your troop. The boys broke ranks and scurried down the steep embankment to investigate the old structure. Before they made it to the bottom, scout Billy tripped on a rock and fell, tumbling violently head over heels down the hill. He rammed into an old wooden workbench with his right leg. A loud c- r- a- c- k was clearly heard just before he came to a stop. The bench leaned enough to cause an old car battery to tip over. It dumped battery acid on the bench top, which then spilled onto Billy s face and into his eyes. Billy screamed in pain as he rolled away from the workbench as best as he could. His right leg was bent at a sickening angle below the knee and he had cuts and scrapes on both arms. He yelled Everything hurts! Hearing Billy s screams, the rest of the troop hurried along a turn in the trail to arrive at the shack. Mr. Douglas, the scout leader was also running as fast as he could to reach Billy. After the run, he could not catch his breath, and his breathing became more and more labored. Looking very pale, his shirt soaked with sweat, he complained of pain in his neck, jaw and left arm. He said, No, no, this can t be happening to me, I m alright! as he lost consciousness and fell to the ground, hitting his head on a rock. Mr. Douglas stopped breathing and had no pulse. A large lump quickly appeared on his forehead. Treat both Mr. Douglas and Scout Billy.
