🔍 Key Concepts

• Primary goals of first aid: preserve life, prevent further injury, and promote recovery • The importance of calm, confident behavior when treating a casualty • What types of actions might increase the patient’s distress or risk

💭 Think About

• Which option describes something that would clearly make the situation worse rather than better? • In an emergency, is it better to be calm and deliberate, or to act in a rushed and unsure way? Think about how that affects the patient and the first aid treatment. • Which choices might actually be helpful or necessary in many real first-aid situations, rather than something to be avoided?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which actions are often recommended in basic first-aid training (e.g., talking to the patient, organizing help). Those are usually NOT what you avoid. • Ask yourself: does this behavior reduce or increase panic and confusion at the scene? • Consider which action would undermine the patient’s confidence in the care they are receiving.
