Which of the following is NOT listed as part of abrasion treatment?

• A. Stop bleed
• B. Rinse with water
• C. Dress/Bandage
• D. Hydrate

Answer: (B)

Rinsing with water isn’t listed as a separate step in the abrasion treatment sequence used here. The framework expects you to stop any bleeding, dress or bandage the wound, and hydrate the patient as part of overall care. Hydration supports circulation and healing, especially in wilderness settings where dehydration can impact recovery. While cleaning a wound with clean water is generally good practice, the exam’s specified steps don’t include a stand-alone rinse, which is why that option is the one not listed. The other actions fit the intended care sequence: stopping bleeding controls the immediate threat, dressing or bandaging protects the wound, and hydration addresses the patient’s systemic needs during care.
