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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Never remove an embedded object from a wound. It may be stopping severe bleeding. Apply pressure around the object and seek emergency care.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Pinching the nostrils and leaning forward helps stop bleeding while preventing blood from flowing into the throat.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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