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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 blood flow to the brain.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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