What is an principal of first aid

Answer 1

Hey user O_O

First aid is defined as the immediate care given to an acutely injured or ill person. It can literally be life-saving so it behooves all of us to know some basic principles.

The main principles of first aid are :

1. Preserve life – This includes the life of the casualty, bystander and rescuer.

2. Protect the casualty from further harm – Ensure the scene is safe.

3. Provide pain relief – This could include the use of ice packs or simply applying a sling.

4. Prevent the injury or illness from becoming worse – Ensure the treatment you provide does not make the condition worse.

5. Provide reassurance.
