P1-4 had great fun on Friday taking on the roles of patients and nurses to learn about how to deal with minor bleeding. We used red paint for fake blood and followed the steps to stop a minor bleed.
The children first of all applied pressure to the wound with a clean cloth, asked the patient to raise the cut above the heart to slow the blood flow, clean, dry then cover the wound with a bandage or plaster. Take a look at some of our poor patients!
