First Aid

I am studying First Aid in Health in Module 2.
I learn a few things about First Aid.

What is First Aid?
First Aid is the immediate care given and generally needed by anyone
who is injured or suddenly ill.


I also learned the General Directions of First Aid.


General Directions in Giving First Aid:


1 Do not move the patient from the position in which he is found.
2 Keep crowds away but have capable persons around to help you.
3 Get someone to call a health worker or a doctor as you give first aid

4 Check is breathing

5 Check is Pulse
6 Stop any bleeding
7 Cover serious wounds or burns with a clean gauze, dressing or cloth.
8 Apply a splint if necessary
