Some important issues that you should look out for when treating a patient are making sure that they can breathe, they are not going into shock, watching out for head wounds or spinal/neck injuries, and excessive bleeding. To check for respiratory problems, look at the skin color, if it is turning blue or purple they can't breathe. Also check for wheezing or excessive coughing. make sure that the patient is conscious and keep them warm. Don't move the patient unless it will harm them even more if there might be any head or neck injury. And make sure that any open wounds have had pressure put on them to stop any bleeding. There are many more issues that should be watched out for, but here are some main ones.

Should you watch Inuyasha The Final Act subbed or wait for it to be dubbed?

Well it depends if you're patient or impatient. If you're patient, then wait for it to be dubbed. If you're impatient, then you should watch it when it's subbed. But I warn you, some subbed episodes have the wrong subs. And if you're impatient and over 13/14 years old, then you should watch Hayate No Gotoku. (just a hint)

What is first aid for unconsciousness?

First you shout for help. Then you see that patient do not hurt himself by any sort of movement. For this either remove the patient or the pointed and hard objects, away from patient. Then you turn the patient on one side. So that, if he happen to vomit, he should not kill himself by aspirating the containt of vomiting. Then you watch for his respiration. If he does not take respiration of his own, then you extend his neck, lift the jaw and give him mouth to mouth breathing. Then you watch his pulse. If it is absent, then you press his chest periodically to produce the pulse. For all this you need little training.
