Answer 2

Take a first-aid course. Carry a small first-aid kit in a pocket or handbag. Remember, a first-aider is there to give simple first-aid, while waiting for an ambulance or paramedic to arrive. Ensure the patient is breathing properly, use pressure to stop bleeding, reassure and keep the patient calm if conscious, protect from immediate danger from vehicles. If a neck injury is expected or likely, try not to move the patient and keep the head still and supported until professional help arrives.
