you are on patrol with your PCSO partner when you see a hiker in a field in plain distress, when you get there your partner says "he's sprained his ankle" - what should you do to help?

1.   ?    bandage the hiker's foot tightly and treat for shock
2.   ?    get a stretcher and use a nearby plank of wood as a splint
3.   ?    soak a flannel in very cold water and then place it firmly on the injury as a cold compress
4.   ?    rub Savlon (or similar) into the hiker's ankle area taking care to avoid using too much
5.   ?    I would ask my PCSO partner to take the correct action and I would radio it in

You and your PCSO partner deal with a woman who has gashed her arm in a broken shop window, her blood is all over the window and all over the pavement! You have bandaged her arm and an ambulance is coming; meanwhile you can allow her to

1.   ?    eat some liquorice allsorts, she complains of being very hungry
2.   ?    talk on her mobile to her boyfriend, she just wants to tell him she loves him that's all
3.   ?    have a few swigs from her diet coke can - she complains of being very thirsty
4.   ?    have a cigarette to steady her nerves, she is getting very anxious and is desperate for a smoke

Whilst on patrol a woman beckons to you and calls you over. She says "My husband is in our garage, he's killed himself from car fumes" she hands you the garage door keys .... you see the garage door is firmly closed ... do you

1.   ?    hold onto the keys but call an ambulance - it is too dangerous for a PCSO to deal
2.   ?    hold onto the keys but call the fire brigade - it is too dangerous for a PCSO to deal
3.   ?    soak a wet handkerchief and place it over your face, then open the garage and drag the man out - EVERY SECOND counts
4.   ?    open the garage doors, WAIT for the fumes to escape from the garage ... then see if the man can be dragged out
5.   ?    call a PC to the scene first to assess the situation, then decide what to do

You and your PCSO partner attend a horrific accident, a young boy has been run over and his hand has been cut clean off, the ambulance is on way and your partner has stemmed the blood flow successfully

1.   ?    wrap the severed hand in kitchen film or a plastic bag and hand it to the ambulance crew
2.   ?    pack the severed hand in a cardboard box, full of ice cubes - the hand needs to be frozen if possible
3.   ?    wash the severed hand under a running tap to remove all chance of infection, then dry it off and leave it within a clean towel for ambulance crew
4.   ?    this is best left to the ambulance crew to deal with, don't even touch the hand

whilst on patrol at a fete you enter a LARGE MARQUEE and see a man having a panic attack, he is trembling all over and sweating profusely .. he then shouts "oh my god I'm finished" and starts barging his way through the crowd, you should

1.   ?    slap him forcefully across the face shouting at him "snap out of it man!"
2.   ?    wrestle him to the ground and hold him there until the ambulance crew arrive
3.   ?    take him to a quiet area and tell him he is having a panic attack, get him to breathe slowly
4.   ?    follow him at a distance and radio it in

It has been a very harsh winter with temperatures well below zero. A young girl has been missing for over 6 hours and while searching some woods you find her lost, her fingers are completely white and some are mottled - FROSTBITE!! an ambulance is called but will be an hour getting to you

1.   ?    build a camp fire, reassure the girl and get her in front of it, as soon as the ambulance arrives, tell the crew it's frostbite
2.   ?    place the affected fingers in warm water, dry carefully and apply a light dressing gauze bandage then to hospital as soon as possible
3.   ?    use a hair drier on the girl's fingers to quickly warm them up again while the ambulance is coming to you
4.   ?    an hour is not too long to wait - just stay with the girl until the ambulance arrives and try and cheer her up

as you are passing a supermarket a mother with her 4 year old boy shouts "help me, my boy has got Meningitis what shall I do?" the following is NOT a sign of Meningitis

1.   ?    severe headache
2.   ?    high fever
3.   ?    a distinctive rash that does not fade as a glass is pressed over it
4.   ?    vomiting
5.   ?    neck stiffness
6.   ?    drowsiness
7.   ?    confusion or disorientation
8.   ?    dislike of bright light
9.   ?    joint or muscle pain
10.   ?    ear discharges a yellow fluid

You are patrolling alone in a busy high street

Suddenly you come upon an elderly male who has collapsed - a few members of the public have stopped but don't appear to know what to do

The man is breathing and has a pulse but just seems to have fainted. There are no visible injuries either. You decide to SEARCH the person to see if you can find any medical cards or identity clues

1.   ?    no, I would not search the man, I have no power to do so
2.   ?    yes I would search him but first I would ask a member of the public to be my witness
3.   ?    I do have a power to search but a search would not be necessary in this case
4.   ?    I would search him but there is no need for any "witness"

Further down the road there has been quite a bad crash

A motorcyclist has been hit and come off his motorbike

You notice that he is laying on the road wearing a full face helmet

1.   ?    I would not remove the crash helmet in any circumstances, Doctors or Paramedics only
2.   ?    as it is a FULL FACE crash helmet the helmet would have to be removed pretty fast to gain access for checking of possible head injuries
3.   ?    I would assess the motorcyclist's injuries first. If an open airway cannot be maintained for example - I would then remove the helmet
4.   ?    I would ask the motorcyclist to remove the helmet HIMSELF, this is the safest way round it

Upon patrolling near to "Henry's Extra" night club, you see that there has been a fight
A man aged about 30 has been punched and his mouth has blood coming from it. As you attend on scene, a woman says to you "Look, his tooth has been punched out" and in the road you see a tooth lieing there. The woman picks the tooth up and with her bicycle water bottle, washes the tooth over with fresh water, handing the tooth to you saying "That's evidence sir" There is no sign of the assailant

1.   ?    you tell the woman to keep the tooth in her water bottle to keep it best preserved for the moment
2.   ?    you take the tooth making sure that the victim is reassured, reinsert the tooth BACK into his tooth socket where it came from
3.   ?    you throw the tooth in the nearest waste bin, as it will only upset the victim
4.   ?    you tell the woman to hold onto the tooth until a police unit can bag it for forensics
