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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If an inhaler does not relieve an asthma attack, call 911 immediately, as the attack 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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