In Latvian first aid guidelines, what should you do if an impaled foreign object (e.g. glass shard or metal rod) is stuck in a wound?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Do not remove the object; stabilize and bandage around it to prevent further tissue damage

Answer: Do not remove the object; stabilize and bandage around it to prevent further tissue damage. Why not the others: Pull the foreign object out immediately with a quick, decisive tug does not represent the statutory standard under Latvian vehicle safety rules.
