First Aid Fundamentals Principles
Read each situation carefully. In New Zealand, call 111 for an ambulance when someone is seriously ill or injured. Do not put yourself or others in danger, and follow the call-taker’s instructions. This worksheet is for learning, not a substitute for practical first-aid training.
A calm, safe response
A useful first-aid sequence is: check that the scene is safe; check the person and get consent if they are responsive; call for help when needed; then give care within your ability.
1.At a roadside scene, a fallen power cable lies beside a puddle, while traffic is passing nearby. Identify two hazards that could make it unsafe to approach. For each hazard, state one safe action a bystander could take.
2.A person has collapsed at a community sports event. Choose the best first-aid sequence from the options.
- Rush over, move the person, then decide whether to call for help.
- Check for danger; check the person; call 111 if needed; give appropriate care within your ability.
- Call a friend, search for the person’s belongings, then check the scene.
- Give the person food or drink before asking what happened.
3.You find someone who is unresponsive and not breathing normally. Which number should you call in New Zealand, and what key details should you give the call-taker?
4.If a person is responsive, it is good practice to introduce yourself and ask permission before helping, unless an immediate danger makes that impossible.
TrueFalse
5.You are calling 111 from a park after a person has fallen and is bleeding heavily. Which message gives the call-taker the most useful information?
- “Someone is hurt somewhere near the park. Please hurry.”
- “I’m at the main entrance to the park on Kauri Street. One person has fallen and is bleeding heavily. They are awake. We need an ambulance.”
- “A person has fallen. I don’t know what to do, so I’m leaving now.”
- “There is an emergency. Can you tell me what the address is?”
6.Match each first-aid action with the reason it matters.
- Check for danger before approaching
- Ask a responsive person before helping
- Give the call-taker a precise location
- Follow the emergency call-taker’s directions
- Respect their choice and learn what support they need
- Receive guidance suited to the situation
- Reduce the chance of creating another casualty
- Help emergency services find the scene
7.At a bus stop, someone falls and another bystander looks frightened and freezes. Write two calm, specific instructions you could give them to help the situation.
8.A person has a painful injury, and you are unsure how to treat it. What is a responsible response while help is being arranged? Give two actions and one thing to avoid.
9.True or false: Staying calm means waiting quietly and doing nothing until a trained professional arrives.
TrueFalse
10.Name one strategy you could use to stay focused during an emergency, and explain how it could help you make a safer decision.
