Lesson Overview

34.2 – Understanding Common Household Injuries: Understanding common household injuries prepares you to respond quickly and safely when accidents happen. Everyday injuries—like cuts, burns, sprains, or minor falls—are common but manageable with the right knowledge. Recognize that small wounds need cleaning and bandaging, while severe bleeding or deep cuts require professional help. Burns should be cooled under water, not treated with oils or creams. Learn basic care for bruises and strains using rest, ice, and elevation. Awareness reduces panic and builds confidence during unexpected moments. Knowing how to respond prevents small incidents from becoming major problems. Preparedness is part of daily safety—understanding how injuries occur helps you create a home environment that’s mindful, cautious, and ready for anything.
