Answer 1

Hint: In any road accident situation, the patients are treated symptomatically, first the patient is checked for consciousness and then check for any fractures and all, In order to avoid breathing issues, steroids are injected and injections related to infections are also given to the patient.

Complete answer:
Apart from the steroids and all, as in the question, they mentioned that the patient has a bruise, so in order to stop the bleeding.
A) Desmopressin Acetate is the injection given to the persons to stop bleeding, this Desmopressin releases the clotting factors and helps to stop the bleeding, it is given not in the accident conditions, but also in hemophilia patients.
B) Desmopressin mainly acts by decreasing the dehydration, mainly by decreasing the urination, and decreases the sweating.
And also, it increases the release of blood clotting factors, so that blood loss is decreased and blood clotting occurs.
C) The main injection, which is given to prevent infections are antitoxins, mainly tetanus is given.
Tetanus toxoid is the inactive form of the antigen that is made as a vaccine and it is injected to prevent infections in accident cases.
Once the toxin is injected, the acquired active immunity is produced and the antibodies are produced.

Note:
In case of accidents, apart from stopping bleeding and preventing the infections, symptomatic treatments are given, as the patients have severe pain, ibuprofen, paracetamol are injected and some antibiotics are also given other than the antitoxins.
