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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Swelling, deformity, severe pain, and inability to move the injured area are signs of a fracture.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Frostbitten areas should be warmed slowly using warm water (not hot) 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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