TEN-The Heppner Gazette-Times. Heppner, Oregon. Thursday. March 12. 1981 Childhood emergencies! Test your knowledge - Medical Meandering Glenn W. Morgan, M.D.. Philomath Family Medicine, P.C. (This is the fifth and last in a series of dip-and-save articles on childhood emergencies.) This quiz will test your knowledge of how to deal with an emergency in your child. It is based on the four previous articles - on burns, poisonings, injuries and nosebleeds. Since all permanent knowledge is gained by relearning the same things, it is hoped that by going over the most important points, your learning will be increased. TRUE OR FALSE: 1. The first thing to do in a hot liquid burn is to take off all clothes that might be in contact with the burn. 2. The second thing to do in a burn is smear vaseline all over the burned area. 3. Acid burns (like car batteries) continue burning much longer than alkali (like lye). 4. Smoke inhalation can seem mild in the first few nours, but can cause serious breathing problems within 24 hours. 5. If a burn blisters up, it is a good idea to stick a needle in it to let the fluid out. 6. Electrical burns can look small on the outside, but cause deep tissue injury inside. 7. Most incidental drug poisonings in children are from aspirin, cold remedies, and vitamins. 8. Fortunately, chemicals such as bleach, gasoline, moth balls, turpentine and paint are rarely taken by children because of their odor. 9. It is good practice to get children to take their medicine by whatever means you can. It helps to tell the child it is candy. 10. Three-quarters of all poisonings in children could be prevented if all medicines and household products were kept out of sight. 11. Ipecac should be kept in every home with children What's your opinion? under age ten. 12. Induce vomiting by giving Ipecac and fluids unless the child is unconcious, having fits, or the poison was a strong corrosive, like lye, or contained petroleum products (gasoline, etc.). 13. Cuts that stop bleeding rapidly don't need stitches, even if they gape open. 14. Scrapes should be immediately covered by a band-aid which is left on for two days. 15. Kissing a child's bump or bruise helps it feel better. 16. A head injury isn't considered serious unless the child was knocked out more than five minutes. 17. Sprains are best treated by elevation and ice packs in the first few hours. 18. If the child complains of pain in his shoulder after an injury, always check the collar bone. 19. Wrist' injuries are usually more serious than elbow injuries in children. 20. For a nosebleed, it is best to have the child lie down and put an ice pack on his forehead or behind the neck and put cotton in the nose. 21. For a nosebleed, it is best to have the child sit up and pinch his nostrils together. 22. Repeated nosebleeds most often mean leukemia or hemophilia (child is a bleeder). 23. If a child vomits blood, it is likely to be from a nosebleed. ANSWERS: 1. True, 2. False. 3. False. 4. True. 5. False, 6. True, 7. True, 8. False. 9. False. 10. True. U. True. 12. True. 13.

"No," says Michele Portmann. 30. Heppner. "I don't think we should be involved. As many statesmen have pointed out, it has many similarities to our involvement in Vietnam." "We need to spend our energies taking care of domestic problems rather than being involved in international affairs." The Senior Citizens Council of the Irrigon site met this week in the home of Ruth Bentley. Attending in an advisory capacity was Susan Cnmrie of Fast Central Ore gon Association of Counties.
