A hypothermic person should be rewarmed gradually using dry blankets and warm fluids. Rapid warming can cause shock.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

A second-degree burn should be cooled with running water, covered with a clean bandage, and left undisturbed to heal.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Running cool (not ice-cold) water over a minor burn for several minutes helps reduce heat and prevent further tissue damage.

The first priority in treating a deep open wound is to apply direct pressure to control bleeding before cleaning and dressing the wound.

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

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

Cleaning the wound with water and covering it with a sterile dressing prevents infection and promotes healing.

Diabetic emergencies can cause confusion, dizziness, sweating, and shakiness due to abnormal blood sugar levels.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Keeping the head and neck still is crucial to prevent further spinal damage.

Compressions should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) deep to effectively circulate blood.

Third-degree burns destroy nerve endings, which may result in no pain. However, they are the most severe and require medical treatment.

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

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

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

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

Lying the person flat with legs elevated improves circulation and blood flow to vital organs.

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

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

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

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

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

Carbon monoxide poisoning is life-threatening, and the first step is to move the victim to fresh air immediately.

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

Agonal gasps (irregular, gasping breaths) are not normal breathing. CPR should be started immediately.

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