It is absolutely possible for a first aid provider to cause further injury to a casualty. For this reason, it is recommended that one only provide care that they are comfortable giving. For example, someone trained in basic first aid should never attempt to give an emergency tracheotomy in order to provide an airway. However, under normal situations, it is not uncommon for procedures such as CPR to dislocate or break ribs, even if done properly.

Is it safe for my brother to run even though he has a leg injury?
It is difficult to say whether or not it is safe for your brother to run with a leg injury. It would really depend on the severity of the injury he suffers. If he is not in severe pain, then he could likely do some light running but I would strongly advise that he asks the opinion of his doctor before taking on any further running.

Is an insect bite a wound or injury?
An insect bite would be considered a wound, which is another term for a minor injury. However, if the bite caused an infection or triggered an allergic reaction, that would more than likely upgrade the situation to an injury. And if the bite happened to be the vector for an insect-borne disease (such as West Nile virus or malaria) you might even upgrade it further by labeling it the entry point of a chronic condition.
