Fainting
(See [Reference List])
Fainting is caused when too small an amount of blood flows to the head.
To Prevent:
Oftentimes, bending the head forward until between the knees, spreading knees apart, prevents a person from fainting, for the blood then flows to the head.
To restore a person who has fainted:
Keep people away. Patient needs air.
Lay patient flat on floor with no pillow, having fresh air in room. Fan patient.
Loosen clothing about neck.
Hold household ammonia or smelling salts to nose.
