Pinching the nostrils and leaning forward helps stop bleeding while preventing blood from flowing into the throat.

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

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

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

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

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

A hypothermic victim should be warmed gradually with dry blankets and warm fluids, avoiding rapid temperature changes.

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

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

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

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

Unlike heat exhaustion, heat stroke causes hot, dry skin and confusion, and is a medical emergency.

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

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

Never place anything in a person's mouth during a seizure. Instead, clear the area around them and let the seizure pass.

An EpiPen (epinephrine) is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis, as it quickly reverses severe allergic reactions.

Tilting the head back can cause blood to go down the throat. Instead, the person should lean forward and pinch their nostrils.

Clean the wound with soap and water and seek medical attention, as human bites can introduce harmful bacteria.

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

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

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

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

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

If you suspect a heart attack, the first step is to call 911 immediately. Early treatment can prevent serious damage or death.

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

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).

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

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

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

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

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

To check if someone is breathing, look for chest movement, listen for breath sounds, and feel for air movement on your cheek.

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

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas, making it extremely dangerous.

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

Tilting the head back can cause blood to flow into the throat and airway. Instead, the person should lean forward and pinch their nostrils.

You should always handle a knocked-out tooth by the crown, NOT the root, to protect its delicate tissues for reattachment.

Moving the person to a cool environment and providing fluids helps reduce body temperature gradually.

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

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

Symptoms of shock include pale skin, weak rapid pulse, nausea, and excessive thirst. A slow, strong pulse is NOT typically associated with shock.

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

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

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

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

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.

If a person is unable to speak or cough, perform the Heimlich maneuver (abdominal thrusts) to help expel the obstruction.

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

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

If an inhaler is not available and the attack worsens, call 911 immediately as it may become life-threatening.
