Question

First aid means what it says : the aid or help that can be given to an injured person first, which is before any other help. Quick actions by us may save someone’s life. Even when it is not so, there is often much that we can do to help.

Shock: People often suffer from shock after receiving an injury; sometimes even the injury is a small one. The face turns grey, and the skin becomes damp and cold. They breathe quickly. They should be kept warm. Cover them with a blanket and give them a warm drink.

Broken bones: Don’t move the person. Send for an ambulance at once. Treat for shock if necessary.

Poison: A person who has swallowed poison should be taken to hospital at once. With some poisons, sleeping pills, for example, it is a good thing to make the person sick by pushing your fingers down his throat. But if he has swallowed some kind of acid, or anything that burns, it would be a bad thing to make the person sick. The poison would burn his throat as it came up.

Suffocation: This means not being able to breathe. For example, a drowning person will have his lungs full of water. Lay him down with his head lower than the rest of his body so that the water will drain(流出) out. If a person has something stuck in his throat, try to remove it with your finger, or by hitting him on the back.

Remember: When an accident happens, send someone to telephone for an ambulance at once. Keep the injured person warm and quiet. Give him plenty of air. Do not let other people crowd around him. If you see an injured person who is being looked after, keep away.
