Yes, a conscious victim should first be evaluated using the BLS (Basic Life Support) assessment, which includes checking responsiveness, assessing airway, breathing, and circulation. This systematic approach helps determine the immediate needs of the victim and whether they require further medical intervention. Once the BLS assessment is complete, additional steps can be taken based on the victim’s condition.
Conscious permission is called "Consent".
In first aid, usually we like to call the person getting hurt a casualty instead of a victim. The first part of the assessment of the casualty is the Primary Survey. ABC Check the AIRWAYS BREATHING and CIRCULATION before assessing the casualty, you will want to do an Emergency Scene survey, and call for help.
The lifesaving assessment procedure that involves noting the rate of change in a victim's skin color and temperature is called the "primary assessment" or "initial assessment" in first aid and emergency response. This procedure helps determine the victim's circulation status and overall condition. Changes in skin color, such as paleness or cyanosis, and skin temperature can indicate shock or other critical conditions. Monitoring these signs is crucial for providing appropriate immediate care.
If you mean a first aider as in someone certified in 1st aid, assess the current situation (if I step in to administer 1st aid, am I putting myself in danger, creating 2 in need). Assess the victim. Is the victim conscious. If not, follow CPR guidelines. If they are conscious, ask them, or secondly a witness, what happened. Determine victims needs such as are they going into shock, having heat stroke, bleeding out, etc...
Conscious. An unconscious victim is assumed to want first aid assistance, since they are incapable of giving consent.Consent must be attained before a rescuer may touch a patient. Failure to do so can result in prosecution from the patient.Given consent - The adult, (18+), patient that is conscious can give consent directly but a parent or legal guardian must give consent for a conscious minor or a mentally handicapped patient.Implied consent - The unconscious patient can be helped without consent but a rescuer should ask / look for their next of kin first.
To treat a gas victim, first ensure the area is safe and remove the person from exposure to the gas. If the victim is unconscious or having difficulty breathing, call emergency services immediately. Provide fresh air and monitor their breathing; if necessary, perform CPR. If the victim is conscious and alert, encourage them to breathe slowly and deeply, and seek medical attention to assess any potential exposure effects.
When conducting a medical assessment in a CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive) scenario, the first status checked is the patient's airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs). This initial assessment is crucial to ensure that the victim can breathe adequately and has a pulse, as these are life-threatening concerns that must be addressed immediately. Following the ABCs, additional CBRNE-specific assessments can be conducted to evaluate exposure and contamination.

They are certainly allowed to drink it if they are conscious. Do not run water on a type 3 or an electrical burn (charred skin). You can apply water on type 1-2(Redness and blisters).
