First Aid Fundamentals

Read the self-contained guide, then work through the scenarios. First aid is immediate, basic help—not a replacement for medical care. Keep yourself safe, get an adult, and follow instructions from emergency operators. In New Zealand, call 111 for urgent emergencies. If someone is in immediate danger, get help rather than putting yourself at risk.

Quick guide: Pause, protect, get help

1. Pause and check for danger before approaching. 2. Protect yourself; use gloves or another barrier if available. 3. Get a responsible adult. Call 111 for a life-threatening emergency, such as someone who is unconscious or having severe trouble breathing. Give the operator clear information and follow their directions. 4. Offer only help you have been taught and that is safe. Do not move someone with a possible serious injury unless there is immediate danger. Speak calmly, respect the person's privacy, and stay nearby if it is safe.

Scenario: The community sports field

At a weekend game, Hana slips near the sideline and sits down holding her ankle. She is alert and says it hurts. A ball is still being kicked nearby, and several people crowd around asking questions.

1.Hana is alert, but the ball is still moving nearby. What should you do first, and why?
2.Choose the best next action after checking the scene is safe.
  • Tell a responsible adult and ask Hana what help she wants.
  • Pull Hana to her feet so the game can continue.

3.The adult asks you to help keep the area calm while they check on Hana. Name two useful things you could do.
