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

A person in cardiac arrest will be unresponsive, have no pulse, and will not be breathing normally.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
