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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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