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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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