    what should we remember when giving first aid

    In order to perform first aid always put safety first. Check the environment around or the scene
    for safety and determine if the victim is conscious before calling in emergency help. If necessary
    apply direct pressure to stop bleeding, protect airways and stabilize injuries by checking vital
    signs at intervals. In case of cardiac arrest give CPR as appropriate, reassure the individual, stay
    composed and focus on ensuring a safe situation until medical assistance comes. Through these
    steps you can take charge of a situation and save a life just before professionals take over.
    Therefore, it is important that one keeps their knowledge of first aid updated by attending
    trainings to be ready for emergencies at all times.

    2. why is it important to understand and follow the basics of first aid

    First aid knowledge is important for providing immediate assistance in emergency situations
    which can save lives and reduce injuries. It makes people to take proactive measures, having
    preparedness and confidence in dealing with unexpected emergencies effectively. Basic first aid
    skills, such as DRSABCD (Danger, Response, send for Help, Airway, Breathing, Circulation, and
    Bleeding Control) so that people know to assess the situation to help the injured person control
    bleeding, ensure open airways and perform CPR if necessary. It also prepares people to be
    responsible first responders making a positive difference in important situations.

    3 what is the ultimate goal in giving first aid

    The ultimate goal in giving first aid is to save life, prevent the harm, and promote recovery. It
    helps the life-threatening conditions, such as cardiac arrest, bleeding, and choking, and
    minimizing minor injuries. By providing immediate care, they help the individual's condition,
    minimize injury to happen and increase recovery chances. The ultimate goal is to ensure the
    best condition for the person in need of assistance. By understanding and applying the basics of
    first aid people can effectively respond to emergencies provide immediate care and increase
    the chances of a positive outcome for the injured person.

    4 what are the roles of a first aider during an emergency situation

    A first aider roles in an emergency situation providing immediate care, and ensuring the safety
    of everyone involved. They use the DRSABCD approach to assess the condition and provide
    lifesaving interventions. They also serve as a communicator and caregiver, offering comfort and
    reassurance to the injured person. Also they monitor the person's condition, offer emotional
    support so the person would feel helpless. I believe that their responsibilities have good impact
    to the outcome of the emergency situation and this can save lives of anyone.
