FIRST AID
❑ Is an immediate and temporary care
given to a person who suddenly gets ill or
injured.
❑ It includes self-help and home care if
medical assistance is not available or
delayed.

ROLES OF FIRST AID
1. Serves a bridge that fills the gap between
the victim and the physician.
2. It is not intended to compete with or to
take place of the service of physician.
3. It ends when the services of the physician
begin.

OBJECTIVES OF FIRST AID
1. To save lives
2. To prolong life
3. To alleviate suffering
4. To prevent further injury

OBSERVANT – notices all signs
RESOURCEFUL – makes the best of the things at
hand
TACTFUL – does not frighten the victim’
SYMPATHETIC – comforts and reassures the victim
