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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Installing carbon monoxide detectors and ensuring proper ventilation can prevent dangerous CO buildup.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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