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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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