First Aid For A Nosebleed

This is my class 10 disaster management project. In this project i have covered fainting, fractures, poisoning, burns, cuts, heatstroke, frostbite and nosebleed. I need a very good CONCLUSION for this PROJECT. Write something or suggest me a good site.
If you could, please suggest me a good site for images other than google

i would suggest that you conclude by stating the obvious that it is important that as many people as possible are trained in at least the basics of first aid to assist in disaster situations

First Aid - Nose bleed

I need to make a visual for a project that is interesting and creative (not just a bunch of pictures and text on a bristol board).. i have the subject of Facial Injuries for the unit of Wilderness and first aid. pretty much i have to cover eye injuries, mouth injuries, teeth and nosebleeds. Any ideas on a visual?

I was thinking to take a styrofoam ball and cut it in half and paint the eyes on it and then jab a stick into it and mold a nose and put blood pouring out and mold a mouth with the bottom lip split open... and have teeth with some knocked out and chipped... but i think doing a three-d face is a little hard.. any ideas on how i could possibly do this?

If you could get a head that they use at a wig store or maybe one of the Beauty Schools that they have around your area. You could take the head and transform the head into the masterpiece that you are talking about.

Another possibility could be making a mold out of plaster of paris and old paper, letting it dry and then letting your creative mind go wild

I am 18 with 2 brothers, they are 13 and 10. We have lots of nose bleeds lasting up to four hours.
I have been going to the hospital since i was 8 at first they didn't know what it was.
early in my life i was always sent by the teacher to the office where the bad kids to sit and wait to have a talk with the Principal.
At first they thought i was a bad kid because they thought i got in a fight and had to see the Principal.
Then I was known as the poor kid who bled too much, always arriving with with stack of paper towels wrapped around his nose becoming a routine daily

I had lots of bloods test done and two years of countless doctors visits
My brothers and I were diagnosed with von willie brands.
and finally i had something to say to those teachers that thought i was a trouble maker they felt bad
my record is eight hours bleeding i know sounds like i would have died, but i kept swallowing it to hide it.
That was a bad idea because at the end of the day in algebra last class i puked in class with blood clots everywhere.
It was very embarrassing this was 8th grade. We all have medical bracelets.
That's my life's story me the bleeder many jokes were made but its all good cause sympathy gets you good Friends
and cute girls

(Start here if skipping)


Our medication is Amicar and Stymate.
We had our noses cauterized (A surgery to stop the nosebleed) not much help though
Also we have three doctors (Our hematology/pediatrician doctor in Grand Rapids Michigan. and another specialized Hematology doctor in Grand Rapids and our family doctor in Holland, Michigan).
We get Children's Special Health Care Services (its an insurance that's pays for our medicine and doctors visits).

We have another brother that doesn't have it.
We live with just our mother who makes 30,000 a year that's before taxes so 1 mom and 4 boys which is low income in Michigan.
So we get free lunch at school.
I got a Pell Grant for College I will be going to college this fall.

I need help knowing what help my family can get.
Mainly Disability since I will be living on my own I will need help. Also can my brothers get disability.
I had a Job for the summer but I can't do it since I get super long nosebleeds then I get dizzy and unable to work.
Will I need a lawyer to get help what will I need from my doctors what can my brothers do to get their help.
advice from experience is much needed. Also will getting help from the state affect my Financial Aid for school?

If you need a lawyer, try a search on Avvo to find someone in your area who has the experience you are looking for. Hope this helps.

You can apply for disability pay; however, it will be determined by your ability to work. If you cannot work any job and it's expected to last more than one year (which it will), then you should be eligible. You are often denied at least once, sometimes more for disability. In addition, you may have to get a lawyer - which will cost money. What are you going to school for? I'm only asking because if you cannot work, then what will you do with your degree? It can affect your financial aid when you apply the following years because it will be income to you. It may or may not affect the amount that you receive - it will depend on what you receive in disability income. You will not qualify for SSDI because it requires that you work a certain number of years to receive the necessary work credits. You will be applying for SSI which does not require the work criteria and is based on financial need (and of course disability). Read up at this site: http://www.ssa.gov/disability/ which will tell you how to apply, if you're eligible, etc. Their definition of a disability is:
•You cannot do work that you did before;
•We decide that you cannot adjust to other work because of your medical condition(s); and
•Your disability has lasted or is expected to last for at least one year or to result in death.
If you applied for work study as part of your financial aid, you may be able to work one of those jobs on-campus. They are very flexible and many may involve a lot of sitting (library work, office work, answering phones, etc.) and may be feasible with your disability. Good luck to you.

I met a lady in the internet that I liked her a lot first but then I understood she has Hepatitis C, she didn’t say it to me first but tried to attract me more then, … Before first meeting she informed me. As she says she tries to make relation with many men but they rejected her in her country, I wondered maybe she is abusing me because I am from an undeveloped country and she is from a developed country.
I wouldn’t like hurt her but I wouldn’t like go to a big risk of infection. I don’t know if I can have full sex relation with her or no, could I kiss her or no! She wrote to me last time:
“Hepatitis C is not Aids. The only similarity is that both can be passed by sharing blood. AIDS can also be spread by saliva. AIDS is very easily transmitted. HepC is easily transmitted through blood transfusions and by drug addicts sharing needles because of the small amount of blood that can get on the needle when it breaks the skin. Hep C needs to be injected into another's blood stream in some way.
The AIDS virus is very virulent and aggressive. HepC is a sleepy virus. It needs an introduction.
It is almost unknown for monohomous couples to transmit the virus between themselves. There are some cases in the literature. But they are so few that there is no study of why or how this happened. Perhaps they had sex when she had per menstrual blood flow and he had a break in the skin of his penis.
Perhaps they had anal sex or some other form that risked tearing the skin and exposing the blood. Perhaps the hep C partner was having wild, risky sex with someone other than his regular partner.
For 20 years, I had sex with my ex-husband without passing the virus. My girlfriend has been with her husband for over 30 years and is not Hep C positive. It is nearly benign for the partner but there are some precautions to take. Using a condom is not seen as necessary. But I never share my razor. Nor scissors. If I get a manicure, I make sure that they sterilize the scissors afterwards.
If I have a nosebleed, I wrap up the tissue and wash my hands.
These are sensible things to do. They simply reduce any potential by reducing any unnecessary risks:
I understand that this may seem scary to you and something that removes your sexual desire for me. I can't change that. But it is your loss for a warm and loving relationship could be there if it were different.
I am your friend and will continue to be. But the best loving relationships are built on respect and friendship, and we have both.”
But I am not sure how much these information are scientific! I am not sure if this virus can transmit by saliva!
Please guide me how do I can treat with her while I wouldn’t hurt her!

Hep C is transmitted by blood, such as sharing needles for drug use with an infected person, or sharing razors or toothbrushes with an infected person. Hep C is very rarely transmitted by sex, and is not considered an STD.

HIV (virus that can lead to AIDS) can be transmitted by unprotected anal, vaginal, or oral sex with an infected person, sharing needles for drug use with someone who is infected, or by transmission from mother to child during delivery or breastfeeding. HIV is NOT transmitted by saliva or by casual contact.

Although it is great that she shared this info with you, some things she has said in comparing Hep C to HIV are completely WRONG.

HIV is NOT transmitted by saliva, and due to the fact that all donated blood is tested, transmission of HIV and Hep C through blood transfusion is EXTREMELY RARE.

Once HIV is outside the body, exposed to air, it is EXTREMELY fragile and only survives for a few minutes. However, once outside the body, Hep C is very PERSISTENT and can remain infectious on surfaces for up to 4 DAYS. That is why it is important that people not share razors or toothbrushes with people that they know are Hep C+.
