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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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