Wild animal bites carry a high risk of rabies or infection and should always be examined by a medical professional.

Never remove an embedded object from a wound. It may be stopping severe bleeding. Apply pressure around the object and seek emergency care.

CPR is only performed if a person is unresponsive AND not breathing. If they are breathing, monitor them until help arrives.

If an inhaler does not relieve an asthma attack, call 911 immediately, as the attack may become life-threatening.

Asthma inhalers should be used when symptoms appear, not only when a person is unconscious. Delaying treatment can be dangerous.

Cold therapy (ice) is recommended for the first 24-48 hours to reduce swelling and pain. Heat can worsen swelling early on.

Applying firm, direct pressure is the most effective way to stop bleeding from a deep laceration.

You should call Poison Control immediately for instructions instead of trying to induce vomiting, which can make the situation worse.

During a seizure, keep the person safe by clearing the area and placing them on their side to prevent choking. Do NOT hold them down.

For mild allergic reactions, an antihistamine like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can help reduce symptoms.

A person in cardiac arrest will be unresponsive, have no pulse, and will not be breathing normally.

Vomiting can worsen certain types of poisoning, such as chemical or petroleum-based substances. Always contact poison control first.

A person with low blood sugar should be given a fast-acting sugar source like fruit juice or glucose tablets to restore normal levels.

You should NOT remove an embedded object. Instead, apply pressure around it and seek medical help.

If someone is choking and unable to breathe, the first step is to ask if they need help. If they cannot respond, perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver).

An AED is used when a person is unresponsive and has no pulse. It delivers a shock only if needed.

Before assisting a victim, always turn off the power source to prevent further injury.

The recommended compression rate is 100-120 compressions per minute.

Applying ice directly to a burn can cause further tissue damage. Instead, use cool (not ice-cold) running water.

Frostbite should be treated by gradually warming the affected area using warm water (not hot) and seeking medical help.

Cold water is effective, but ice-cold water or direct ice application can cause further damage to the tissue.

Swelling, deformity, severe pain, and inability to move the injured area are signs of a fracture.

Common symptoms of poisoning include nausea, vomiting, confusion, and difficulty breathing.

Do NOT push the bone back in. Instead, cover the area with a sterile dressing and immobilize the limb while waiting for emergency help.

Signs of heat stroke include confusion, hot/dry skin, and rapid pulse. Unlike heat exhaustion, the victim does NOT sweat.

Applying direct pressure to a wound is the most effective way to stop severe bleeding.

Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can cause confusion, dizziness, sweating, and shakiness. Immediate treatment is needed.

Even if a head injury seems minor, delayed symptoms such as confusion, dizziness, or vomiting can indicate a serious problem.

Animal bites should be cleaned with soap and water, and medical help should be sought to assess infection risk.

Flushing the eye with water for at least 15 minutes helps remove the chemical and prevent further damage.

CPR should be stopped only when the person starts breathing normally, emergency responders arrive, or you are too exhausted to continue.

The best way to treat an electrical shock victim is to first disconnect the power source before providing first aid.

If a person is unresponsive and has no pulse, CPR should be started immediately to maintain circulation and oxygenation.

Frostbitten areas should be warmed slowly using warm water (not hot) to avoid further damage.

FAST stands for Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, and Time to call 911. Recognizing these signs early can save lives.

Never hold down a person having a seizure. Instead, clear the area and protect their head while allowing the seizure to pass.

If a nosebleed lasts longer than 10 minutes, seek medical attention as it could indicate a more serious problem.

The first step is to get the victim to fresh air immediately. Carbon monoxide is dangerous because it is colorless and odorless.

Carbon monoxide poisoning prevents oxygen from binding to red blood cells, leading to suffocation and organ failure.

CPR should begin immediately for a drowning victim who is unresponsive and not breathing to restore oxygen circulation.

Inhaling toxic fumes can cause serious respiratory issues, and the first step is to move the victim to fresh air.

A concussion can have delayed symptoms, so the person should be monitored closely and should avoid activities that worsen their condition.

A splint prevents movement of a broken or injured limb to avoid further damage.

A person with a spinal injury should not be moved unless absolutely necessary. Keep them still and stabilize their head and neck.

Laying the person flat and elevating their legs improves circulation and helps restore blood flow to the brain.

Check if the person is responsive. If they are unresponsive, call 911 and begin CPR if needed.

Human bites can be more dangerous than animal bites because they often introduce harmful bacteria, leading to infection.

If an allergic reaction affects breathing, administer an EpiPen if available and call 911 immediately.

For adult CPR, hands should be placed in the center of the chest, on the lower half of the sternum.

Laying the person flat and elevating their legs improves circulation and helps restore normal blood flow to the brain.
