First Aid Guide for Kids

Most small cuts don’t present any danger to your child. But bleeding from large cuts may require immediate medical treatment. Depending on the type of wound and its location, there can be damage to tendons and nerves. What to do: For Minor Bleeding From a Small Cut or Abrasion (Scrape): Rinse the wound thoroughly with water to clean out dirt and debris. Then wash the wound with a mild soap and rinse thoroughly. (For minor wounds, it isn’t necessary to use an antiseptic solution to prevent infection, and some can cause allergic skin reactions.) Cover the wound with a sterile adhesive bandage or sterile gauze and adhesive tape. Examine the wound daily. If the bandage gets wet, remove it and apply a new one. After the wound forms a scab, a bandage is no longer necessary. For Bleeding From a Large Cut or Laceration: Wash the wound thoroughly with water. This will allow you to see the wound clearly and assess its size. Place a piece of sterile gauze or a clean cloth over the entire wound. If available, use clean latex or rubber gloves to protect yourself from exposure to possible infection from the blood of a child who isn’t your own. If you can, raise the bleeding body part above the level of your child’s heart. Do not apply a tourniquet. Using the palm of your hand on the gauze or cloth, apply steady, direct pressure to the wound for 5 minutes. (During the 5 minutes, do not stop to check the wound or remove blood clots that may form on the gauze.) If blood soaks through the gauze, do not remove it. Apply another gauze pad on top and continue applying pressure. Call your child’s doctor or seek immediate medical attention for all large cuts or lacerations, or if: you’re unable to stop the bleeding after 5 minutes of pressure, or if the wound begins bleeding again (continue applying pressure until help arrives) you’re unable to clean out dirt and debris thoroughly, or there’ s something else stuck in the wound the wound is on your child’s face or neck the injury was caused by an animal or human bite, burn, electrical injury, or puncture wound (e.g., a nail) the cut is more than half an inch long or appears to be deep – large or deep wounds can result in nerve or tendon damage. Broken Bones, Sprains, and Strains A broken (fractured) bone requires emergency care. Suspect a possible broken bone if your child heard or felt a bone snap, if your child has difficulty moving the injured part, or if the injured part moves in an unnatural way or is very painful to the touch. A sprain occurs when the ligaments, which hold bones together, are overstretched and partially torn. Simply overstretching any part of the musculature is called a strain. Sprains and strains generally cause swelling and pain, and there may be bruises around the injured area. Most sprains, after proper medical evaluation, can be treated at home. What to Do: For a Suspected Broken Bone: If the injury involves your child’s neck or back, do not move him unless the child is in imminent danger. Movement can cause serious nerve damage. Phone for emergency medical help. If your child must be moved, the neck and back must be completely immobilized first. Keeping your child’s head, neck, and back in alignment, move the child as a unit. If your child has an open break (bone protrudes through the skin) and there is severe bleeding, apply pressure on the bleeding area with a gauze pad or a clean piece of clothing or other material. Do not wash the wound or try to push back any part of the bone that may be sticking out. If your child must be moved, apply splints around the injured limb to prevent further injury. Leave the limb in the position you find it. The splints should be applied in that position. Splints can be made by using boards, brooms, a stack of newspapers, cardboard, or anything firm, and can be padded with pillows, shirts, towels, or anything soft. Splints must be long enough to extend beyond the joints above and below the fracture. Place cold packs or a bag of ice wrapped in cloth on the injured area. Keep your child lying down until medical help arrives. For a Suspected Sprain or Strain: If the injury involves your child’s neck or back, do not move him unless the child is in imminent danger. Movement can cause serious nerve damage. Phone for emergency medical help. If your child must be moved, the neck and back must be completely immobilized first. Keeping the head, neck, and back in alignment, move your child as a unit. It may be difficult to tell the difference between a sprain and a break. If there is any doubt whatsoever, phone your child’s doctor or take your child to the nearest hospital emergency department. An X-ray can determine whether a bone is broken. First aid for sprains and strains includes rest, ice, compression, and elevation (known as RICE). Rest the injured part of the body. Apply ice packs or cold compresses for up to 10 or 15 minutes at a time every few hours for the first 2 days to prevent swelling. Wearing an elastic compression bandage (such as an ACE bandage) for at least 2 days will reduce swelling. Keep the injured part elevated above the level of the heart as much as possible to reduce swelling. Do not apply heat in any form for at least 24 hours. Heat increases swelling and pain. Your child’s doctor may recommend an over-the-counter pain reliever such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Dehydration Under normal conditions, we all lose some body water every day in our sweat, tears, urine, and stools. Water also evaporates from our skin and leaves the body as vapor when we breathe. We usually replace this body fluid and the salts it contains with

Healthy Recipe for Kids

Remove from cookie sheet while hot. Optional: Spread with a thin glaze of powdered sugar and vanilla. Yield: 30 servings Serving size: 1 cookie Snack Suggestion: One apple cookie and 1/2 cup of chocolate milk (A child can help measure ingredients and drop dough by teaspoonful onto the baking sheet.) APPLE PUDDING 1 cup leftover cooked rice 1 cup lowfat vanilla yogurt 1 cup applesauce 1 teaspoon cinnamon Mix rice and applesauce together in a large bowl. Add cinnamon and yogurt. Stir well. Spoon into dishes and serve. Makes six 1/2-cup servings. BAKED APPLES One-half cooking apple per child, and for each half apple: 1 t. honey 1 T. orange juice 1 t. sunflower seeds or nuts Wash apples, cut in half, and help children remove cores (using a melon baller is easiest). Place apples in a baking dish. Spread honey, juice, and nuts in center and over top. Bake in microwave on high for three to five minutes or until tender. Allow additional time for more than two apple halves. These may be baked at 500 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes, but remember to add enough water to cover the bottom of the baking dish. Try using brown sugar, a dot of margarine, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and several raisins in centers. BANANA SMOOTHIE Make up your own variations using other fruits and juices. 1 small frozen banana, cut into chunks 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt 1/4 cup orange juice Put all ingredients into the blender and whirl until smooth.

You may even want to double it to have it on hand for another lunch. Children do a great job crushing the cereal in a plastic bag with a rolling pin and rolling and shaping the meatballs. (Perfectly shaped meatballs should not be the goal in this recipe!) 1 lb. hamburger, preferably lean ground 1/2 t. salt Pepper 1 c. grated cheese, (preferably lowfat cheddar, American, or Swiss) 1 egg 1/2 c. crushed high-iron cereal (Total, Kix, Corn Bran, Product 19) 1 small can or jar of spaghetti sauce Combine all ingredients except spaghetti sauce and mix lightly.

See Healthful Snacks for Children Two to Five Years of Age for reference HOT CHEESE FUNNIES Making sesame seed-covered pretzels shaped like letters or numerals can be especially exciting. Inexpensive ingredients provide a tactile experience as children work with the soft, rubbery dough.

Knead dough until smooth. Add more flour, a teaspoon at a time, if it’s too sticky. Break off walnut-sized pieces and roll into 12-inch long ropes. Twist into pretzel shapes. Let children make their own and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Brush with beaten egg and roll in sesame seeds. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 or 20 minutes. JUICY FINGER BLOCKS 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin 3/4 cup boiling water 1 12-oz. can frozen apple, orange, grape, or other juice concentrate Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Add juice and stir until mixed. Pour into a lightly greased 9 x 13 inch cake pan. Chill in the refrigerator about 2 hours until firm. Cut into squares or use cookie cutters to make shapes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. MELTED CHEESE CHEWS For the beginning cook, these can be a successful learning experience. Everybody raves because they taste so good. You’ll need: Whole-wheat bread (for variety, use taco shells or pita pockets) Cheddar cheese, preferably lowfat, grated Corn oil
