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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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