Forexample, the main acronym for treating injuries is P.R.I.C.E. This acronym isused to remember the way to reduce bleeding and pain, but it does not focus onfixing the actual problem, which would be the responsibility of a doctor.P – “Protect” (don’t allow additional injuries to occur)R – RestI – “Ice” (put ice on or against the injured part)C – “Compress” (put pressure on the injured part)E – “Elevate” (raise up above the heart)S – “Stabilize” (put in a position and do not let it move)People who are studying “Cardiopulmonary resuscitation” (CPR; techniques tohelp someone who is not breathing) memorize the acronym A.B.C.:A – AirwayB – BreathingC – CirculationThe A.B.C. acronym reminds “first aid providers” (people who provide emergencymedical care) to first “clear” (remove any objects that might be blocking) the“airway” (the passage in one’s neck or throat that allows air to move from one’snose to the lungs). They might do this by “tilting” (changing the angle of) the neckto open the airway, or by using the “Heimlich maneuver” to apply force to theindividual’s “abdomen” (stomach area) to push out any object or piece of foodthat might be causing the person to “choke” (not be able to breathe). Then theyneed to check to see whether the injured individual is breathing. Finally, theycheck for “circulation” (a heartbeat and the movement of blood throughout thebody).______________Comprehension Questions Correct Answers: 1 – c; 2 – b4These materials are copyrighted by the Center for Educational Development (2013).
