🔍 Key Concepts

• Priorities in emergency first aid after electrical shock • The "ABCs" of basic life support (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) • Immediate life-threatening conditions vs. less urgent injuries like burns

💭 Think About

• After you safely remove the victim from the electrical source, what must you confirm FIRST to prevent death in the next few seconds? • Think about the sequence used in basic life support: in what order do you assess the victim’s vital functions? • Which option deals directly with keeping the person alive right now, rather than treating secondary injuries or using outdated methods?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which action is part of initial primary assessment (life over limb). • Eliminate any choices that relate mainly to comfort or non‑essential treatments. • Check which options are no longer recommended in modern first aid (for example, certain stimulants or vigorous massage).
