What have you noticed about the given

The given information/ situation are all about
first aid.
Alright! What do you think is a first aid?
First aid is an immediate response to a
Very good! As you have stated, our lesson for person who suddenly gets ill or injured.
today is all about the common unintentional injuries
and the basics of first aid.
 b. Lesson Proper

First aid is an immediate and temporary care

given to a person who suddenly gets ill or
injured. It includes self- help and home care if
medical assistance is not available or delayed.
Anyone who gives first aid is a first aider.

So, did you experience practicing first aid in

some situations in your life?
What did you do?

The given experience of your classmates is

one of the immediate responses that anyone Yes
of you can practice if you encounter some (students share his/ her experience)
unintentional injuries instances.

Here are the Roles of First Aid:

1. It is a bridge that fills the gap between the victim
and the physician.
2. It is not intended to compete with or to take place of
the services of the physician.
3. It ends when the services of the physician begins.

Why is it important to know the limits of a first aider?

Because, the role of a first aider is to give a
temporary care to a patient and not
necessarily take full responsibility for the
treatment of the injured person.

That is correct. They only tend to save life and to

prevent the injury to get worse.

Next, the Objectives of First Aid:

1. To save lives
2. To prolong life
3. To alleviate suffering
4. To prevent further injury

To further know the role and objective of first aid, let’s

have a simple activity.

ACTIVITY 1: Emergency! Emergency! What will I do?

The teacher will pick a number and then give a ball to

one student and he/ she will pass the ball to his/ her
seatmate and so on, if the number is mentioned and
the one that holds the ball that time will be the one
who will answer. I have here some situations to be
given to you. You will tell to the class what immediate
action to be taken as you imagine you are in that
situation.

Situations:
1. Your younger sister cuts her finger with a knife.
2. Your friend falls down the stairs from the 2nd floor
and can hardly stand.
3. a man in the street is bumped by a car. (The ball will circulate in the class and stop if
4. Your mother accidentally touches a hot pan. the picked number was reach. The student
5. Your classmate has drunk poison. who holds the ball will answer)
6. Your teacher suffers a heart attack.
7. Your neighbor experiences stroke.
8. Your grandfather slips in the comfort room and
cannot move his right arm.
9. Your cousin who does not know how to swim falls
into a deep river.
10. Your baby brother accidentally swallows a small
part of a car toy and it gets stuck in his throat.

Alright! Somehow you already have an idea on how to

act and what to do if there is an emergency.

We will now proceed to the Characteristics of a Good

First Aider:
1. Gentle – does not cause pain and panic
2. Observant - notices all signs
3. Resourceful – makes the best use of things at hand
4. Tactful – does not frighten the victim
5. Sympathetic – comforts and reassures the victim

Next, the Principles of First Aid

(Dos in Giving First Aid)

1. DO stay calm.
2. DO reassure and comfort the victim.
3. DO check for a medical bracelet indicating a
condition, such as epilepsy or diabetes.
4. DO loosen any tight clothing.
5. DO keep the victim covered to reduce shock.

(DON’Ts in Giving First Aid)

1. DON’T give food and drink to an unconscious

person.
2. DON’T move an injured person unless you need to
place him/ her in the recovery position.

ACTIVITY 2: Is He a Good First Aider?

Analyze the situations and state whether the subject
person is a good first aider or not.

1. Student A is very relaxed in controlling the bleeding

on her classmate’s finger.
2. Student B is insisting that her unconscious sister
drink water.
3. Student C immediately brings her friend, who fell
down the stairs, to the clinic. (Students will answer each item)
4. Student D makes use of his clean handkerchief to
tie his bestfriend’s bleeding arm.
5. Student E speaks comforting words to her cousin
who sprained his ankle while playing basketball.

Okay, all of your answer is correct.

Now, let me ask you, if you were a first aider, what
would be your ultimate goal? Save lives
Relieve pain
Promote recovery
Preventing injury from getting worse
(students share ideas)

Very good. As a first aider, we need to have a goal for

it to be the basis for us to help other person’s in need.

In your book, observe the Steps in Assessing

Emergency Situations based from The Health
Curriculum in Philippine Basic Education.

1. Is anyone in danger?
2. Move to the quietest victim
3. Open the airway
4. Check for breathing
5. Look for signs of circulation

So, that’s all about the basics of first aid and steps in
assessing emergency situations.
