| Scenario Overview: |
|
This scenario tests the first aiders ability to react to changing dangers whilst they are treating. They have been covering a college ball where a couple in their early twenties have come up to you asking for help because the female has had her foot stamped on with a stiletto and now has a small wound in her foot. The bloke is initially very helpful and wants the first aiders to help. However, part way through the scenario he will suddenly accuse the first aider of looking up the girl's skirt and will become quite agressive verbally and physically towards the first aiders. The girl also becomes quite scared at how her boyfriend is acting.
