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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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).

To check if someone is breathing, look for chest movement, listen for breath sounds, and feel for air movement on your cheek.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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 in homes and ensuring proper ventilation helps prevent CO poisoning.

Unlike heat exhaustion, heat stroke causes hot, dry skin and confusion, and is a medical emergency.

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

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

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

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