5. Discuss what are the first aid priorities.

The first aid priorities are assess a situation quickly and calmly, protect yourself and any casualties from
danger and never put yourself at risk, prevent cross-contamination between yourself and the casualty as
best as possible, comfort and reassure casualties, identify the injury or nature of illness affecting a
casualty, give early treatment, treat the casualties with the most serious (life-threatening) conditions
first, and arrange for appropriate help; take or send the casualty to the hospital; transfer him into the
care of a healthcare professional, or to a higher level of medical care. Stay with a casualty until care is
available.

6. Is there a need to educate the people about first aid? Why?

There is a need to educate the people about first aid because knowing what to do in times of accident or
emergency is a big help to ease the pain, lessen the fatality and save life. We should learn how to
respond on a sudden accident to ensure that injuries can be efficiently and promptly dealt with before a
trained medical professional arrives to administer more specialized treatment. In short, having a
knowledge or proper training on how to perform first aid is the best help we can offer because it doesn’t
only prevent temporary or long-term disability, it can also save lives.
