This document outlines a lesson plan on dressings and bandages for first aid. It includes learning objectives, materials, activities, and assessment. The key points are: - Dressings cover wounds to prevent infection and stop bleeding, while bandages are used to apply pressure, cover wounds/burns, and immobilize injuries. Common bandages include triangular, ace, and tubular. - Proper techniques for applying dressings include washing hands, positioning the dressing beyond the wound edges, and securing it. Bandaging techniques depend on the injury but generally involve firm and secure wrapping without restricting circulation. - Activities include demonstrating bandaging techniques in groups and discussing why dressings and bandages are important

C. ACTIVITY PROPER :
C.1 INTRODUCTION :
Dressing is a piece of sterile cloth that covers a wound to prevent infection and / or to stop bleeding .
Cold compress is used to reduce swelling and relieve pain, especially used for sprains and strains. Cold packs
can be used as cold compress. Hot compress is also used to allow normal blood circulation. Cold and hot
compress are applied alternately for closed wounds or contusions.
Bandages are used to apply pressure to bleeding; for covering wounds and burns; and providing support for
immobilization for broken bones, sprains and strains. There are three main types of bandages namely:
triangular, ace and tubular. Triangular bandage is made from cloth and can be used as cold compress, padding,
support for pressure, or support sling. Ace bandage secures dressings in place. Tubular bandage is used to
support joints or hold dressings in place. Smaller tubular bandage is used for finger injuries.
Techniques in applying dressings
1. Wash hands and wear gloves, if possible.
2. Unwrap the dressing as close to the wound as possible. Be sure not to touch the wound.
3. Skin is not sterile. If the dressing slips over the victim’s skin while you are trying to position it, discard and use a
fresh one.
4. Place the dressing over the wound.

2. 5. Use a dressing that is large enough to extend at least 1 inch beyond the edges of the wound.
6. If body tissue or organs are exposed, cover the wound with a dressing that will stick.
7. Then secure the dressing with a bandage or adhesive tape.

Two Phases of Bandaging
A. An open phase bandaging is used for wounds on top and back of the head, chest, back, hand, and foot, and as arm
sling.
B. A cravat phase bandaging is used for wounds that need extra support like wound on the eye, forehead, ear, cheek,
jaw, shoulder, hip, arm, leg, elbow, knee, and palm and for a sprained ankle. The narrower the cravat is, the greater
pressure it will give.
Techniques in Bandaging
1. Keep in mind the following:
a. Always use a square knot.
b. Keep the cloth sterile to avoid infection.
c. Always keep the ends.
2. Bandaging technique depends upon the size and location of the wound, your first aid skills, and materials at hand.
3. Bandage firmly over bleeding and securely over the broken bone, not so tight so as not to cut off blood circulation.
4. When wrapping bandages around the body, such as knees, ankles, neck, and small back , use its natural hollows to
slide the bandage gently into place.
5. Since most injuries swell, check regularly to ensure that the bandage is still comfortable and that it remains firmly
secured.
6. Secure the bandage with a tape, clips or a bow or square knot. Ensure that the bandages, especially the knots, do
not touch the skin.
B ACTIVITY : Proper folding and bandaging
Perform the activity based on their grouping
