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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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

Never hold down a person having a seizure. Instead, clear the area and protect their head while allowing the seizure to pass.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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