By the way I love science fiction so I'd love to read what you have someday.
By no means am I a doctor but for giggles let's say she's studied what doctors in the past would have done back in the 1800s.
In her first aid kit she should have bandages, some pain reliever such as Tylenol and some rubbing alcohol and some latex gloves. She'd be thinking not only about getting the patient stabilized but treating his wound. She'd start by accessing the damage. Is it bleeding profusely? If so she'd apply pressure and if need be she'd cut up a shirt or pants, something to make a tourniquet to place above the wound and at the artery to stop the bleeding.
She woudn't remove the object at first until she was certain no further injury would happen but at the same time she'd be concerned about infection so she'd search for a natural anti-biotic such as Colloidal silver.

All she has to obtain this is a silver necklace and a watch. She opens the watch to get the battery and uses the water she found running in the creek. She makes a wire using the watch and places the battery in the container she has and charges the water and places the silver necklace in it to charge the silver she then makes him drink it.
As far as what else she'd do I don't know. I think in the lack of modern medicine she'd do whatever possible to keep him alive and healthy.
