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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Pinching the nostrils and leaning forward helps stop bleeding while preventing blood from flowing into the throat.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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