I. Definition
1. What is First Aid?

Accidents and injuries happen frequently at any time, and when they
do it is important to know how to treat them. First aid is the initial
treatment given to an injury or illness before further treatment by
medical professionals is administered. First aid covers a variety of
methods to treat medical issues and people everywhere should
familiarize themselves with how to give it.

II. Essay
1. Discuss the importance of First Aid?

Accidents can happen anywhere at any time, even though some safety
measures still exist. The immediate and appropriate measure taken at the right
time can save the life of the victim. This is why it is important to have at least a
basic awareness of first aid. First aid is the assistance given to any person
suffering a sudden illness or injury; with care provided to preserve life, prevent
the condition from worsening, or to promote recovery. It includes initial
intervention in a serious condition prior to professional medical help being
available, such as performing CPR while awaiting an ambulance, as well as the
complete treatment of minor conditions, such as applying a plaster to a cut.
