FIRST AID

e rst help given to an injured person immediately

is called rst aid. We should keep a rst-aid box

at home and while travelling. It contains scissors,
bandage, medical cotton, antiseptic cream or antiseptic
lotion, etc.

While giving rst aid, we should remember the

following things:

 Do not create panic.

 Do not crowd around the victim.

 Tie a clean hanky over the wound, especially if it is bleeding.

 A bleeding cut or wound should be kept at a higher level than the rest of
the body. Wash the wounded area and apply antiseptic cream on it.

 If the victim is badly injured, take him/her to the nearest hospital.
