Question

Describe any 2 objectives of first aid.

Answer 1

When someone has a small or major illness or injury, first aid is the first and prompt care they receive with the goal of saving their life, halting the progression of their condition, or accelerating their recovery.

The objectives of the First aid are:

1. Preserve life: Keeping the patient alive until the doctor can tend to him or her is the primary goal of first aid. Start with breathing, airway, and circulation (C-A-B). Evaluate the victim's circulation and make any necessary adjustments. Make that the person is breathing and that there are no obstructions in their airway.
2. Prevent the condition from worsening: First aid's goal is to stop the illness from getting worse and to stop any potential further harm. This could entail stabilizing the victim, transferring them to a safer area, administering first assistance, or simply remaining by their side and offering consolation.
