First Aid Fundamentals

Work through each situation and explain your choices. In an emergency in New Zealand, call 111 for an ambulance when someone is seriously injured or unwell. Follow the call-taker’s instructions. Only help in ways that are safe for you.

Start safely

A useful first-aid response starts with checking for danger, then checking the person and getting help. Never put yourself at risk to reach someone.

1.At a coastal track, you see someone lying near a fallen power line. What should you do first, and why?

2.A person collapses at a community sports event. Which sequence best matches the DRSABCD approach after you have checked for danger?

Response, Send for help, Airway, Breathing, CPR, Defibrillation
Run, Shake, Apply ice, Bandage, Carry, Drive
Airway, CPR, Leave, Defibrillation, Breathing, Send for help

3.The person is unresponsive and is not breathing normally. You are with another bystander. Describe two urgent actions you should take while help is coming.

Give clear help

Emergency call-takers need clear information. Stay on the line, answer their questions and do not hang up until they say you can.

4.You call 111 because a cyclist has been hit by a car on a road in your town. Name four useful details to give the call-taker.

5.A teammate has a deep cut on their forearm and blood is flowing heavily. What should you do while someone calls 111?

6.A person spills hot tea on their hand. Which first-aid action is most appropriate for a minor burn?

Cool the burn under cool running water for 20 minutes, then seek advice if needed
Rub butter or cream into the burn
Put ice directly on the burn

Think through the situation

Different emergencies need different responses. Keep checking what is happening, and get professional help when needed.

7.At lunch, a friend suddenly cannot speak or breathe properly after choking on food. What should you do? Include how you would get help.

8.A person is unconscious but breathing normally, and the area is safe. What should you do while waiting for help?

9.True or false: You should move an injured person straight away so they are more comfortable, even if you do not know what injuries they have.

TrueFalse

10.You feel shaken after helping someone. Give two safe actions that can help you manage the situation and look after yourself afterwards.
