 *  Signs of hypothermia are :
 * shivering
 * exhaustion
 * Feeling cold
 * low energy
 * cold pale skin

 * drowsiness

How do we treat hypothermia : We wrap a space blanket around the person that has been affected by hypothermia and with it make sure that they have all blankets and jerseys that you have to the patient so that they don’t die in coldness and hug the member to keep them warm. Then call a rescue party for help.

How do we treat sprains:  Encourage the injured person to drink plenty of fluids.use a cold ice pack to reduce swelling for 20 to 40 minutes every 2 to 4 hours for the first 24 to 48 hours after injury.. Rest the injured area by leaving it and staying off of it.Wrap the area snugly with an elastic bandage, being careful not to cut off circulation. This will help prevent further swelling.

How do we treat bleeding cuts : We treat bleeding cuts by first getting the the anesthetic and dabbing it lightly on with a cotton ball for 5 seconds then you grab the tissues and wipe away the blood then grab a big plaster and put the plaster on the bit that is cut so that the hole thing is covered put the rubbish in the bush
