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

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

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

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

Installing carbon monoxide detectors in homes and ensuring proper ventilation helps prevent CO poisoning.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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