First aid is the initial assistance given to someone who is injured or ill before professional medical help arrives. It can mean the difference between life and death by helping prevent further damage or worsening of an injury. Some key first aid basics for teenagers include controlling bleeding, calling for help, and shifting the person to get early medical assistance. The Good Samaritan Law protects people who provide first aid from liability. Immediate first aid is important for injuries like burns, choking, head injuries, cuts, wounds, drowning, snake bites, and fractures. Getting first aid training and having a prepared first aid kit can help save lives.
