DAY 3 SUB-TOPIC 3: Examples of Common Conditions

Explicitation Bites are Injuries from animal or human teeth or Insect. They can cause puncture wounds, cuts, or scrapes on the skin.

Bites can vary in seriousness and may lead to infections or venom.

Wounds are injuries that cause damage to the skin or underlying tissues. They can range from minor cuts and scrapes to more serious injuries like puncture wounds or lacerations. Wounds may result from accidents, falls, or contact with sharp objects

Burns are injuries caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation that damage the skin and tissues. They can vary in severity, from minor redness and discomfort to severe tissue damage and loss. Bleeding refers to the loss of blood from damaged blood vessels. It can occur externally, visible from cuts or wounds, or internally, which may not be immediately appearance.

Fainting refers to a temporary loss of consciousness typically caused by a temporary reduction in blood flow to the brain. It often occurs due to a sudden drop in blood pressure or a lack of oxygen reaching the brain.

Poisoning, in the context of first aid, refers to the ingestion, inhalation, or absorption of substances that are harmful to the body. These substances, known as poisons, can include chemicals, medications, plants, or household products.

Choking occurs when an object becomes lodged in the throat or windpipe, blocking the flow of air. This obstruction prevents the person from breathing effectively and can quickly lead to a life-threatening situation.

Hyperventilation refers to rapid or shallow breathing that leads to an excessive intake of oxygen and reduced levels of carbon dioxide in the body

A heart attack occurs when the blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, usually by a blood clot. This leads to damage or death of the heart muscle cells.

A stroke occurs when there is an interruption of blood flow to the brain, resulting in damage to brain cells. This interruption can happen due to a blockage in a blood vessel (ischemic stroke) or the bursting of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke)

Worked Example:

Activity 8: First Aid Vocabulary Quest

Direction:

Find the ten (10) hidden words related to first aid for common conditions. Circle or highlight them on the grid. The teacher may provide the word grid either by posting it on the board or by providing a handout for students to copy onto a separate sheet of paper.

Activity 9: "Match Dash: Racing to Define Common Conditions"

● Team the class into five (5), with each team consisting of an equal number of participants.

● Place cards containing descriptions of common conditions and their corresponding definitions at different stations around the room. Each station should have a set of cards for both the conditions and the definitions.

● Assign one participant from each team as the "runner." Their role is to sprint to the stations, read the condition or definition, and race back to their team with the information.

● The teacher will give the signal, the runners from each team begin the race. They must quickly move between stations, reading the cards and memorizing the information.

● As the runners return to their teams, they must communicate the condition or definition they read and work together to match it with the corresponding card on a large board or surface. Only one runner can be at the board at a time, but the entire team can assist in making the matches.

● The team that successfully matches all the conditions with their definitions and returns to their starting position first wins the round. Accuracy is essential, so teams must ensure they have the correct matches before declaring victory.

3. Lesson Activity Activity 10: "Creative Graphic Organizer: Exploring Common Conditions and Signs/Symptoms"

Directions: Students will gather materials such as paper and markers to create a graphic organizer representing common health conditions and their signs/symptoms. They'll brainstorm a list of conditions and research their signs/symptoms using various resources.

Then, they'll design the organizer creatively, labeling each section with condition names and organizing signs/symptoms accordingly. Adding color and visuals for engagement, they'll review and refine their work for accuracy. Finally, they'll present their organizers to the class, explaining their design choices and discussing each condition's signs/symptoms.
