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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Inhaling toxic fumes can cause serious respiratory issues, and the first step is to move the victim to fresh air.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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).

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

Frostbite should be treated by gradually warming the affected area using warm water (not hot) and seeking medical help.
