Enumerate 3 ways on how to fold a bandage

Point

End

Base

Enumerate parts of bandage

Chest bandage

- Apex at the shoulder of the Injured part

- Pull back the folded base and secure it

with a square knot at the center

indention of the Back.

- Knot/ tie longer end with apex.

Hand bandage

- Place _ in the middle of the

triangular bandage with the wrist at the

base of the bandage.

- Place the apex over the fingers and

tuck any excess material into the pleats

on each side.

- Cross the end on top of the hand, take

them around the wrist, and tie them

with a square knot.

Arm sling

- Place folded base vertically over.

- Lower ends of the base at the side of

the neck using a square knot.

- Make several twists with the apex and

tie a knot.

- Hide the knot.
