Basic First Aid Skills
Read the safety notes and scenarios. In a real emergency, keep yourself safe, call 111 for serious or life-threatening injuries, and follow the call-taker’s instructions. First aid training is valuable, but do not attempt a procedure you have not been trained to do. For adult CPR, give compressions in the centre of the chest at about 100–120 compressions per minute. Use an AED as soon as one is available and follow its prompts.
Make safe choices
Choose the best response for each situation.
1.At a sports field, a person has collapsed. You cannot yet tell what happened. What should you do first?
- Rush straight over and start moving them.
- Check for hazards, such as traffic or equipment, and make sure it is safe to approach.
- Give them food or water.
- Ask them to stand up.
2.When is the recovery position generally appropriate?
- A person is unresponsive but breathing normally, and there is no reason to keep them in their current position.
- A person is awake and speaking normally.
- A person is not breathing normally.
- A person has a minor scrape.
3.A classmate has a deep cut and blood is soaking through a cloth. Which action is safest while help is arranged?
- Remove anything stuck in the wound.
- Apply firm, direct pressure with a clean dressing or cloth; if blood comes through, add more material without lifting the first layer.
- Wash the wound for several minutes before seeking help.
- Leave the person alone while you look for supplies.
4.True or false: If a person is unresponsive and not breathing normally, you should call 111, get an AED if available, and begin CPR if you can, following the call-taker’s instructions.
TrueFalse
5.A helper has been giving CPR for several minutes and is becoming tired. What could you do to help, if you are able to take over?
6.An AED is attached to a person and begins analysing their heart rhythm. What should everyone nearby do while it analyses?
Respond to the scene
Apply the priorities: check danger, get help, and give appropriate care. Explain your reasoning clearly.
7.You find someone lying on a footpath. They do not respond when you speak loudly and gently tap their shoulder, but you can see their chest rising regularly. Describe the immediate actions you would take, including how you would monitor them.
8.A teammate has heavy bleeding from a forearm wound. A small piece of glass is embedded in it. Explain what you should do and name one action you must avoid.
9.A person at a community event is unresponsive and only making occasional gasping sounds. One bystander has a phone and another can fetch an AED. What should you tell each person to do, and what should happen next?
10.Why is calling 111 important even when a bystander knows some first aid? Give two reasons.
Think like a responsible helper
First aid includes communication, teamwork, and knowing your limits.
11.Write one clear sentence you could use to ask a bystander for help during an emergency. Include a specific task rather than saying only “someone help”.
12.A friend says they would move every injured person immediately. Explain why that may be unsafe and give one exception when moving someone may be necessary.
13.Choose one first-aid skill from this worksheet. State one part you feel confident about and one way you could practise or learn it safely, such as a recognised course or supervised training.
