First Aid Basics

Read the mini-guide, then help Maia decide what to do. First aid is the immediate help given while waiting for an adult or medical professional. Never put yourself in danger. If someone is seriously hurt or in danger in New Zealand, call 111 and ask for an ambulance. Follow the call-taker’s instructions. For a nosebleed, get an adult to help and use safe first-aid steps.

Maia’s first-aid mission

At the park, Maia sees a friend sitting on the path with a bleeding knee. Nearby, a ball has rolled beside a busy driveway. Use the guide and your safety knowledge to choose helpful actions.

1.Before approaching the injured friend, what should Maia do first?
  • Check that the path and nearby area are safe
  • Run into the driveway to fetch the ball
  • Move the friend straight away
  • Look for a plaster without speaking to anyone
2.The friend is awake and says the knee hurts. Name one trusted adult Maia should get to help.
3.The cut is small and there is no object stuck in it. Which action is most suitable while an adult helps?
  • Press gently on it with clean gauze or a clean cloth
  • Blow on it and leave it uncovered
  • Put ice directly onto the cut
  • Pour an unknown liquid onto it
4.True or false: Maia should put on disposable gloves if they are available before helping with blood.
TrueFalse
5.Match each first-aid item to its useful purpose.
  • Plaster
  • Bandage
  • Disposable gloves
  • Gauze pad
  • Help protect hands from blood
  • Cover a small, clean cut
  • Press on a small bleeding wound
  • Hold a dressing in place or support an injury
