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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A person with low blood sugar should be given a fast-acting sugar source like fruit juice or glucose tablets to restore normal levels.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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