What is First Aid?

• First aid is helping someone who is hurt or sick before a doctor can come.
• It is important because it can make someone feel better right away.
• First aid can help stop bleeding, protect cuts, and improve breathing.

Example 1: If you see a friend fall and scrape their knee, you can clean the scrape with water and put a bandage on it.

Example 2: If someone is having trouble breathing because of an asthma attack, you can help them sit down and use their inhaler.

Example 3: If someone gets a burn from touching something hot, you can cool the burn with running water to help ease the pain.

Fun Fact: It is always good to learn basic first aid so you can help others in need and keep everyone safe!
