Skill: Impaled Object
- Care first before you call, if needed call 911
Scenario: Victim was working on a jobsite and happened to step on a long nail. Nail remained stuck through the victim's foot.
Care: Provide a impaled object splint to the vitim's injury. Place 2 rolls of gause on the topside of the foot, then use one more gauze roll to wrap the injury and keep it secure. You do not want to remove the object cause it could possibly make the injury worse. Rush the victim to urgent care to have the object removed.
