Explanation:

Question 13:

• Condition: Anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) to bee sting, as trouble breathing and lip swelling are signs of a severe allergic response.
• First Aid Actions: Call emergency services immediately, have the person lie down, if they have an epinephrine auto - injector (like an EpiPen), help them use it as per instructions.

Question 14:

• Condition: Heat exhaustion. Symptoms like weakness, nausea, and sweating in hot conditions are characteristic of heat exhaustion.
• First Aid Actions: Move the student to a cool, shaded area, have them lie down and raise their legs slightly, give them cool water to drink (if conscious), and apply cool, wet cloths to their skin.

Question 15:

• Condition: Heat stroke. Collapsing with hot, dry skin is a key sign of heat stroke (a more severe heat - related illness than heat exhaustion).
• First Aid Actions: Call emergency services immediately. Move the runner to a cool place, remove excess clothing, and cool the body rapidly (e.g., with cold water sponging or ice packs on the neck, armpits, and groin).

Question 16:

• Condition: Hypothermia (mild). Shivering is an early sign of hypothermia when exposed to freezing weather.
• First Aid Actions: Move the student to a warm place, remove wet clothing, wrap them in warm blankets, and give them warm (not hot) drinks if they are conscious.

Question 17:

• Condition: Frostbite (mild, on fingers). Pale and numb fingers in snowy (cold) conditions indicate frostbite.
• First Aid Actions: Get the person to a warm place, do not rub the frostbitten area. Warm the fingers gently by immersing them in warm (not hot) water (around 104 - 108°F or 40 - 42°C) or using warm compresses.

Question 18:

• Condition: Syncope (fainting) due to orthostatic hypotension (blood pressure drop from standing too quickly).
• First Aid Actions: Have the student lie down flat, raise their legs slightly to increase blood flow to the brain, and loosen any tight clothing around the neck, chest, or waist.

Question 19:

• Condition: Sprained ankle (from the twist) with swelling.
• First Aid Actions: Follow the RICE protocol - Rest the ankle, Ice the area (for 15 - 20 minutes at a time), Compress with an elastic bandage, and Elevate the ankle above heart level.
