Basic First Aid Skills
Read each situation carefully. First aid is immediate help, not a substitute for professional care. Keep yourself safe, call 111 in a life-threatening emergency, and follow the call-taker’s instructions. Do not practise CPR or recovery-position techniques on a real person unless you are trained and it is safe to do so.
Make safe decisions
Use the principles of first aid: check for danger, get help, and give appropriate care.
1.You see a cyclist lying beside a busy road. Cars are still passing close by. What should you do first?
- Run into the road and move the cyclist immediately.
- Check for danger and get help without putting yourself at risk.
- Give the cyclist food and water.
- Ask the cyclist to stand up.
2.A person has collapsed, is unresponsive and is not breathing normally. In New Zealand, what number should you call, and what information should you give?
3.An adult is unresponsive and not breathing normally. Which response is most appropriate?
- Call 111, begin CPR if able, and ask someone to get an AED; follow the dispatcher and AED prompts.
- Wait several minutes to see whether the person wakes up.
- Put the person in the recovery position and leave to find help.
- Give the person a drink.
4.An AED is brought to the collapsed person. What should helpers do while it analyses the person’s heart rhythm?
Match the situation to a safe response
Choose care that fits the person’s condition. Get emergency help for serious or worsening symptoms.
5.A person is unresponsive but breathing normally. There is no obvious danger nearby. What is the safest general response while waiting for help?
- Leave them alone and go home.
- Call 111, monitor their breathing, and use the recovery position if appropriate and safe.
- Give them food or drink.
- Make them sit or stand.
6.A person has a deep cut on their forearm and is bleeding heavily. Write two safe actions you should take while getting urgent help.
7.True or false: If a piece of glass is stuck in a wound, pull it out before applying pressure.
TrueFalse
8.Someone has a small, recent burn from hot water. Which action is the best first aid?
- Cool the burn under cool running water for 20 minutes, if possible.
- Put ice directly on the burn.
- Spread butter over the burn.
- Break any blisters.
9.A person collapses in a safe place and does not respond. Number these actions from 1 to 4 in a sensible order: check for a response; call 111 and send for an AED; check whether they are breathing normally; begin CPR if they are not breathing normally and follow instructions.
10.At a sports match, a player falls and says they feel dizzy. They are awake and breathing. Explain two things you should do and one thing you should avoid.
