It is important to preface this answer with the disclaimer that there is no substitute for proper medical training by the Red Cross, for example. You can get First Aid, CPR, or Wilderness First Responder training there.

The answer to the question is that it depends on the situation. If it is a minor wound, such as a cut or scrape, it is best to bandage it and hike out together to get the person better medical treatment. If it is a serious injury such as one to the head or a broken limb, it is best to not move the person. If the person is in stable enough condition to be left behind while you go and get help, you should do that; if someone can stay behind with the person while someone else goes to get help, that is even better. Before you go to get help, make sure you know exactly where you are.
