If a person is unconscious from electric shock, the first action is to remove him from the electrical source. What is the secondary action?
⢠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
⢠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 victimâs vital functions? ⢠Which option deals directly with keeping the person alive right now, rather than treating secondary injuries or using outdated methods?
⢠Verify which action is part of initial primary assessment (life over limb). ⢠Eliminate any choices that relate mainly to comfort or nonâessential treatments. ⢠Check which options are no longer recommended in modern first aid (for example, certain stimulants or vigorous massage).
