SECTION A (10 Marks)
COMPREHENSION
One day a young student caught a bus from the centre of Nairobi to
Mathare. It was the height of the rush hour, and the bus was tightly packed. As
the bus approached the Pangani round about, a middle –aged man standing in the
gangway suddenly collapsed.
The passengers started to shout immediately. Hearing this, the
driver pulled into the side. As soon as the bus stopped, most of the passengers
jumped off and ran away. Only five stayed on the bus.
“Don’t touch him!” Said some one. “He may be suffering from
contagious diseases!
“I n that case we may stuck here for hours!” Said another and left
“Or we may be placed in quarantine in hospital for days” Said a
third passenger also getting off
The students ignored them. Calmly he knelt down beside the man, and
put his ear against the man’s chest. “He
is breathing “He announced, “Are all the windows open? He needs fresh air”
The students loosed the men’s collar and tie, and slowly he began
to revive. It was very lucky for the man, that there was someone who knew about
first aid. When a person faints, he loses consciousness. A spell may last for
several minutes. It is caused by an insufficient supply of oxygen or blood to
the brain. Other causes include a sudden drop in blood pressure, fasting
anemia, exhaustion and emotional up set.
Training in first aid can be obtained from the Red Cross society.
The first aid measures to be taken when a person faints are;The patient should
be stretched out flat with the head lower than rest of the body.’
All tight clothing should be loosened in order to aid breathing. Windows
should be opened so that there is plenty of fresh air. Place an ear against the
left part of the chest to make sure that the heart is beating. If the heart
beat has stopped, the heart should be massaged. If breathing has stopped,
artificial respiration (mouth to mouth) should be started.
Measures to be avoided when someone has fainted are: Do not move
the patient until he has fully recovered. Do not throw cold water in his face. Do
not slap him or burn his feet to revive him. Do not tray to your water or
whiskey down his throat while he is unconscious.
