Talk:First Aid/Protective Precautions

removed info
The following info was removed because it goes beyond first aid. An N95 respirator is strongly advised to be worn when an individual has tuberculosis. Mike.lifeguard 20:40, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Terminology
Can we come up with something a bit more... professional than 'people danger'?? Please?  – Mike.lifeguard  | talk 01:23, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I changed it to "subject danger." Can we agree that this is suitable?--Nugger 03:13, 3 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I can't agree to that and i've reverted, because it is not just the subject who is dangerous. What about the person who may have inflicted the injuries on them?  I don't see the issue with the word people, it's a basic descriptive, with very few synonyms. Owain.davies 06:56, 3 August 2007 (UTC)


 * There are Victims (Those who need help), Suspects (Those who may have caused the injury), and Witnesses (Those who saw what took place, including medical personnel). Subjects are a generalization of everyone at the scene. It's used in report writing here in the states.--Nugger 02:43, 4 August 2007 (UTC)


 * It does in that case cause confusion as the common understanding in the UK would be that subject is either the person you're treating (as this is a first aid manual). In law enforcement subject would be the same as suspect in most useage.  If everyone is that keen on changing from people (and i still don't see why) we need to find an internationally agreeable term.  Regards Owain.davies 10:02, 4 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I think I've got one, Human Danger. Short, sweet, and to the point. When we add the definition to it, we keep it basic and professional. Not to mention it is international. So, agree?--Nugger 15:13, 4 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Happy with that, good solution. carry on.  Owain.davies 21:40, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
