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

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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