1. (d) All of the above (cow, pig, and sheep) are color blind. In bull fights, it used to be thought that the red flag caused the bull to become angry and charge. It was later discovered that it wasn't the color of the flag that caused the bull to charge, but simply the fact that the flag was waving. The flag could be blue, yellow, or even green and the bull would still charge.

2. (a) Horses kick directly behind them. Cows differ from horses in the way that they kick; they kick to the back and side. Keep this in mind when working with these animals.

3. (False) Ride a bike with traffic (on the right side of the road). In addition, ride in a single file line, obey all traffic laws, use proper hand signals, and always make sure you can easily be seen by on coming motorists.

4. (True) Bicycle accidents that didn't involve motor vehicles were responsible for more nonfatal accidents than bicycle accidents involving motor vehicles.

5. (a) The majority of bike related deaths are due to injury to the head. To minimize the risk of head injury, always wear an approved helmet that fits properly.

6. (b) Most ATV accidents occur within the first year after they are purchased.

7. (d) Vomiting should not be induced for all of the listed reasons (the poison is a strong corrosive, the person is unconscious or having convulsions).

8. (False) Different parts of the body absorb chemicals at different rates. Some areas may be only slightly affected, but others are very sensitive and the chemicals directly enter the blood stream. Be especially careful not to touch your face when working with chemicals. Although you should always wear gloves when working with chemicals, it is still important that you wash your hands immediately after working with chemicals. Even if you are just taking a break for lunch or to go to the bathroom, wash your hands before you touch anything.

9. (a) Unlined gloves should be used when working with chemicals. They should be elbow length and never made out of leather or cotton because these materials absorb the chemicals.

10. (c) Inside a burning building, fires are very dark and thick, making it difficult to see anything. If you are in burning building, stay low to avoid as much smoke and heat as possible. Most importantly, get out of the burning building as quickly as you possibly can.

11. (b) Most lawn mower upsets occur due to sudden starts and stops going up a hill. The other choices listed are all possible causes of upsets, but they are not the most common reason. Caution should be used when driving up or down a hill or on bumpy terrain.

12. (b) Inhaling toxic dust can cause a respiratory disorder known as Farmer's Lung Disease. Victims can suffer fever, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle aches, lung inflammation, and in severe cases, even death.

13. (b) If the victim is not in danger of further injury, the victim should not be moved until emergency medical experts arrive. Moving the person unnecessarily can cause additional harm. The person should be covered with a blanket, if possible, to prevent the onset of shock and also to keep the person warm until help arrives. Ask the victim personal information, such as his or her name, if it is not known. This should be done in case the person passes out so you can relay the information to the police and medical team.
