First aid is an important part of everyday life at home, work or at play.

Everyone should learn first aid and

be willing to administer basic care until emergency assistance arrives. Not every incident requiring first
aid is a life-and-death...

The objectives of first aid are to save life, prevent further injury, and limit infection. However, first aid
isn't a substitute for proper medical treatment. ... In general, the order of treatment is to restore
breathing, stop bleeding, and treat for shock. Work quickly, but don't rush around frantically.
