Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
At a crash scene, an injured person is lying beside a car. There is no fire and no danger from traffic, and help has been called. What should you do?
Correct answer: Do not move them; check breathing and bleeding, and keep them warm.
Why
Unless an injured person is in a burning vehicle or in immediate danger from traffic, leave them where they are, because moving them can make injuries worse. First help anyone who is not walking and talking: check breathing, then bleeding, and press directly on a bleeding wound. Cover the person with a blanket or coat to help prevent shock, and do not give them anything to drink.
