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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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