A Scout who has been working on a signal tower on a hot, humid afternoon leaves to help with dinner. Near the cooking fire, he suddenly becomes dizzy and nauseous and falls. As he falls, his right hand goes into a pan of hot grease. His face is moist and he is barely conscious.
[Correct response: (1) Move him from the fire to a cool spot. (2) Treat the victim for heat exhaustion; raise his feet, loosen clothing, apply wet, cool cloths to his head, fan him. (3) Apply sterile dressing and bandage to the burned hand or wrist; or, if there are no broken blisters, immerse the hand and wrist in cold water. (4) Transport the victim to medical care.]
