The Recovery PositionI need a little help with a piece of work for my LDQ that Im doing for work. We had a sheet with the recovery position written out on it with words missing that we had to fill in. Anyway I filled it out but got 3 wrong,I spoke with Elaine's Graham the other night and thought I had got them all,but Im still struggeling with 1. Ill type it out and see what you think it is,thnks in advance for yourt help,its really annoying me   1) Kneel beside the casualty 2) Remove sharp objects from clothing 3) Open the casualty's airway by tilting their head and lifting their CHIN 4) Straighten the casualty's LEGS 5) Bend the ELBOW of the arm nearest to you so that the casualty's arm is at a right angle. 6) Bend the casualty's far leg,keeping their FOOTon the floor so that the KNEE is bent upwards. 7) Place the casualty's far arm accross their CHEST, with the back of their hand against their cheek 8 ) Gently pull the casualty's far KNEE and .......... rolling them towards you untill they are lying on their side 9) Tilt the casualty's HEAD to ensure airway is open 10) Adjust upper leg so that the KNEE and HIP are at right angles,to support the casualty 11) Check airway and breathing. So im stuck on the one on question 8,its annoying me because you pull the casualty's knee over with your one hand,but your other hand is still holding the casualty's hand against their cheek so your not pulling anything with it  I thought that maybe it was thigh but thigh isnt in the list of words I can use these are the choice of words we can use - Arm,Cheek,Head,Hip,Chest,Knee,Chin,Leg,Elbow,Legs, Foot,Palm,Hand and shoulder

Shoulder? Possibly? I know you also keep a hand on their hand which is against their cheek while rolling them over but it doesn't seem to fit in with the 'gently pull' at the beginning of the sentence. Sorry, prob not much help! |

Sorry, Erin; no idea. I did take CPR, but that's completely different .... |

If it's not shoulder, then perhaps it's ARM? |

Do you think it could be HIP again because when you pull the knee over the hipp would automatically move aswell wouldnt it? |

But if you pulled them over by their knee and hip, wouldn't their upper body sort of flop over and perhaps they would bang their heads? I would have said your first answer of knee and shoulder was right, but if shoulder is wrong - that's why I thought arm which is already positioned so that it is not hurt by the rolling over on to their side. You need somebody to practice on! It's really hard to imagine!! |

But you use your one hand to support the casualty's hand against their cheek,that only leaves 1 hand left to pull anything which is Knee (which was correct answer),your not actually pulling the casualty's hand,your just supporting it so that it stays against their cheek I have been watching videos of people being put into the recovery position all day and got no answer from it,all they are mentioning is pulling the knee this is why I think it has been worded badly. |
