What would you do if you had an accident in your daily life?

It is important for you to get some knowledge about first aid in your daily life. If a person has an accident, he / she needs medical care before a doctor can be found. When you give first aid, you must know three things:

First, when a person stops breathing (呼吸), open his / her mouth to see if there is food in his / her mouth. Second, if a person cannot breathe, try to start his / her breathing at once, using a mouth-to-mouth way. Third, if a person is hurt badly, try to stop the bleeding (流血) at once. And then take him / her to a doctor, because if a person loses one third of his / her blood, he / she may be in great danger.

Many accidents may happen at home, and everyone should know some first aid to deal with common injuries. When a person is bitten by an animal, wash the wound with cold running water before he / she is taken to see a doctor. When a person is burnt, wash and cool the area of the skin under the cold tap for a while, then put a piece of dry clean cloth over the burn. If a person is badly burnt, take him / her to the doctor. If a person cuts his / her finger, clean it and put a piece of clean paper round the cut.

According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (疾病控制中心), if you don’t often wash your hands, you can pick up viruses (病毒)from many places and make yourself ill. You’re at risk every time you touch your eyes, nose or mouth. In fact, one of the most common ways people catch colds is by rubbing their noses or their eyes when there are cold viruses on their hands.
