Injured person care — Montana Permit Test
Injured person care on the Montana permit test — 3 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
If an injured person is bleeding, apply direct pressure on the wound with your hand or a cloth; even severe bleeding can almost always be slowed this way.
Waiting for help while blood flows freely can cost a life before the ambulance comes.
If there is bleeding, apply direct pressure directly on the wound with your hand or with a cloth.
Do not give injured people anything to drink, not even water.
A hurt person who needs surgery or who vomits can choke on what they were given.
Do not give injured people anything to drink, not even water.

To help prevent an injured person from going into shock, cover them with a blanket or coat to keep them warm.
On the test
An injured person is bleeding. What should you do?
Press on the wound with a hand or cloth. Waiting for help while blood flows freely can cost a life before the ambulance comes. Montana Driver Manual, p.80: “If there is bleeding, apply direct pressure directly on the wound with your hand or with a cloth.”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
