The very first thoughts going through your mind should be, "is the scene safe to enter?", and "do I have my body substance isolation?" (BSI). Make sure you're safe first, because you won't be any good to the patient/victim if you get yourself hurt. Following that is your initial assessment followed by ABC's (airway, breathing, circulation). After that comes whatever treatment is necessary for the specific injury or illness.

∙ 14y agoThe very first thing you do is look for hazards to your safety. Then get someone else to call 911 and have them guide the response personnel to your location.
Then you need to identify your self to the casualty, tell them you know first aid and offer assistance. If they are unconscious then consent is automatically implied. If they are dazed and confused try to get them to acknowledge you, again state that you have first aid and can assist them, if the nod that they understand then help.
If they refuse aid then observe them till the paramedics arrive. If they pass out then you can assist. It's a stupid law and it only applies in some places, but it's a law none the less. If they grant consent then you carry on with your ABC's and full assessment, carry on as per your training.
