    It is necessary to know basic First Aid procedures so you can know what to do when you get a cut or even slip and fall. You would also need to know these things so in case these things do happen you would know how to take care of it the proper way and clean and rinse it the right way.

    It's necessary to know basic aid procedures because you never know when you might my have to perfom them. Once, while I was at my grandma's house my baby cousin was chocking on a piece of candy. My uncle had to perform the hielmech manuver.

  6. When you are doing procedures and following certain guidelines, it may be possible to save lives by giving basic treatment until professional medical help arrives.

    Remember, too, that practice makes perfect.

    In an emergency there's no time to read instructions. If you've memorised some of the basic procedures, it will help you react quickly.

    It is necessary to know first aid procedures because one day it may save yours or another person's lives. I recall a day in fourth during B.A.T.; this stood for Basic Aid Training. There were dummies on the floor that we had to perform CPR on and afterwards we watched an example of the heimlich maneuver.

    The importance of knowing safety procedures is very high. Knowing the procedures can save a life or keep you from getting hurt. When I got cut on my arm, my mother stopped the bleeding. She put peroxide on the wound. She put Neosporin and a band-aid on it.

  13. It is really important to know basic First Aid procedures. We might say its not,but what if somebody gets hurt and you couldnt do nothing to help them. Accidents can happen whenever and wherever,even when we less expect it. Easy basic procedures such as helping someone who got cut,burned, or is chocking.

    It's important to know First Aid because you never know what will happen. If someone is choking on something, someone should know what to do in order to get that object out of their throat. If someone passes out people should know what to do and how to do it. Also First Aid teaches you how to treat things such as cuts, burns, food poisoning, and allergies.

    *It is important to know basic First Aid procedures because you should know what to do when it comes to accidents. It makes the situation better, and fixed before it gets worse.
    * When someone is chocking First Aid skill CPR should be preformed.

  19. It's very important to know basic procedures. It can keep people from getting harmed. It can also keep people from dying. They will also keep down chaos. For example, if someone falls off a chair, you shouldn't move them. You should call 911 and wait for help.

    It is necessary to know basic First Aid procedures because when there are cut, scraps, bruises, and bumps, you can apply first aid, and you may stop the bleeding until you can get emergency attention.

    An instance where I peform FIRST AID is when I go a minor burn. I applied some topical agent on the burn.

    Everyone should learn basic first aid techniques. You never know when you might need them - you could be at home, at work, at school or on holiday.

    Whether it's a minor situation or something more serious, first aid knowledge will give you the confidence to act. You could be the difference between life and death.

    Because there could be a time when someone gets hurt right infront of you and there is no one that can help but you. I went to White Waters one year for a summer and the day i was there a guy had drowned and they did spr on him.

    You need first aid basic procedures to help you know what to do when an accident occurs that cause you to use your 1st aid skills. I had to help my brother when he swallowed a chicken bone. It wasn't nothing major but he could have easily choked on that bone or it couldv'e gotten stuck in his esophogus

  36. It is safe to know basic first aid because someone can get hurt and you'll know how to perform basic first aid on that person.
    One instance where I had to perform basic first aid is when my little cousin fell off her bike and she scraped her knee I had to perform basic first aid by cleaning the scrape, putting cream on the scrape, and I covered the scrape with a bandage.

    so that you can be a help to yourself or others that may be injured. The chances of someone recovering more easily, or even surviving an accident or injury can be greatly improved if someone immediately uses first aid knowledge to help assist them. it is for immediate care for an illness or injury

    First aid is an important skill.

    By performing simple procedures and following certain guidelines, it may be possible to save lives by giving basic treatment until professional medical help arrives.

    Remember, too, that practice makes perfect.

    In an emergency there's no time to read instructions. If you've memorised some of the basic procedures, it will help you react quickly and efficiently.

    If someone stops breathing, see if the person replies if talked to or touched on the shoulder.

    If not, call for help – and immediately begin first aid. Send bystanders for help.

    But if you're alone, perform basic life support for one minute before going for help.

    1.Place the person on his or her back on the floor.
    2.Tilt the head, so that the chin is pointing upwards. Do this by placing the fingertips under the jawbone, then lift gently while pressing down softly on the person's forehead. This is done to make sure the tongue is not blocking the throat.
    3.Keep holding the head in this way while checking for breathing. Look if the chest is rising and falling, or place your ear next to their mouth to listen for breathing and feel breath on your cheek. Only check for 10 seconds.
    4.If there's normal breathing, hold the head as described above until help arrives. If there's no breathing or gasping breaths, start basic life support.

    With all types of bleeding, it's important to stop the flow of blood as quickly as possible.

    Small cuts:
    Small cuts in the veins stop bleeding and clot within a few minutes. The area should then be washed, and a plaster placed gently on top.

    Deeper cuts:
    Deeper cuts in the veins produce dark blood that seeps out slowly and steadily. It can be stopped by gentle pressure on the wound with a sterile or clean cloth, followed by the application of a clean or sterile bandage.

    Often, these wounds need sewing or glueing, and therefore medical treatment will be necessary after first aid.

    Choking happens when the passage through the windpipe is blocked. This usually occurs when food that hasn't been thoroughly chewed gets stuck.

    If someone looks like they're choking, ask them if they're able to talk.

    A person who is genuinely choking can usually only communicate with hand movements, and may place their hand against their throat. In such a case they will definitely need help, so summon assistance for them.

    Provided the person is conscious and breathing, you should not interfere. However, be prepared to do so, if the obstruction appears to become complete or markedly worse.

  40. It's necessary to know because if someone is choking or can't breathe, you might know what to do. You might know how to do CPR or the Heimlich Manuever.
