About This Book

The book combines a fictional frame in which a girl who has completed a Red Cross first-aid course practices nursing and safety with playmates, with clear, child-friendly instructions on treating common injuries and illnesses. Chapters present lessons, practice games, and scenarios that demonstrate bandaging, splinting, care for burns, wounds, poisoning, and shock, while an appendix provides a ready reference of ordinary accidents and home remedies. Emphasis is placed on safety, hands-on procedure descriptions, and the principle of summoning a physician when in doubt.
