1. What is the importance of first aid subject as a student?


It creates the confidence to care. Having a basic first aid
knowledge means that you'll be confident in your skills and abilities in
relation to first aid administration. By taking first aid training, it helps
you to reflect on yourself and how you and others react in certain
situations.
First Aid training gives you the confidence to step in to help
when an emergency occurs. The action you take by responding
straight away, could save a life or prevent a person suffering
permanent disability.
2. What is the basic first aid?
The first step in any emergency is the recognition of the
problem and providing help. When in doubt or when someone is
seriously injured or ill, you should always activate the emergency
response system by calling 911 in the United States, or your own
locality’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) number. If you’re not
sure how serious the situation is, the 911/EMS operator will ask you a
series of questions to determine the severity of the situation.
Remain on the line until additional help arrives, or until the
911/EMS operator tells you to hang up. Emergency system
dispatchers can guide you through the steps of performing
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), using an automated external
defibrillator (AED), or delivering basic care until additional help
arrives.
3. What are the first aid rules?
 Shout for help!
 Assess the situation and scout the territory.
 Determine if the accident warrants a visit to a hospital—or simply a
cleansing and a Band-Aid.
 If you are trained and certified in CPR and a person is choking or
cannot breathe, begin CPR right away.
 Stop the bleeding.
 Treat any symptoms of shock.
 Look for a Medic Alert bracelet or necklace. 
 Seek trained medical assistance.
 Never give an injured unconscious person anything by mouth. 
 Wait.
4. What is first aider
A first-aider is someone who has undertaken training
appropriate to the circumstances, first aid at work, emergency first aid
at work and any other level of training or qualification that is
appropriate to the circumstances.

5. Responsibilities of a first aider.

 Assess the situation quickly and calmly to get an understanding of


what happened. This involves determining whether anyone is in
danger, the cause of the situation, and how many people are
affected.

 Comfort, reassure, stay calm and take charge. You should introduce


yourself to the casualty, explain what’s happening and why, and
explain what you’re going to do before you do it.

 Protect yourself and the casualty from any danger. You should


always protect yourself first and only move the casualty if leaving
them would cause more harm. If you are unable to make an area
safe, call 999 for emergency help.

 Prevent infection between you and them. You should wash your


hands or use hand sanitizer, wear disposable gloves, and not cough
or sneeze over a casualty.

 Assess the casualty. If there are multiple casualties, you must help
those with life-threatening injuries or conditions first.

 Give first aid treatment, such as CPR or applying pressure to


bleeding wounds. Life-threatening injuries and conditions must be
prioritized before giving treatment to less serious cases.

 Arrange for the right kind of help. Call 999 for an ambulance if it’s
serious, or take/send them to a hospital if it’s serious but unlikely to
get any worse. For less serious conditions, suggest they see a doctor
if they are concerned or if the condition worsens. You should always
stay with them until you can leave them in the right care.
