Explanation:

Part II (True/False with + for true, 0 for false)

1. When performing CPR on an infant, the correct method is to cover both the mouth and nose with your mouth (not just the mouth and pinch nostrils). So this is false.
2. Most venomous snakebites are not fatal (many factors like prompt treatment, snake species, etc. mean fatalities are less common). So this is true.
3. Serious sprains often require medical attention; R.I.C.E. is for minor sprains or initial care, but not sufficient for serious ones. So this is false.
4. If a choking person can still speak, they have a partial airway obstruction and should not be given first aid (like Heimlich) as they can still breathe. So this is true.
5. First - degree burns are the shallowest; deepest are third - degree. So this is false.
6. Puncture wounds usually cause minimal external bleeding (they are small holes, unlike lacerations). So this is false.
7. An unconscious person can’t cough/clear airway, so they are at risk of choking (e.g., on vomit). So this is true.
8. A severed body part should be wrapped in moist gauze, not packed in ice/ice water (which can damage tissue). So this is false.
9. When calling poison control, you need to describe the victim’s state, age, weight, etc. So this is true.
10. Animal bites (from rabid animals) can transmit rabies, which is fatal if untreated. So this is true.
