Solution
First aid is the first thing to do immediately after any type of injury. First aid is the first help to be provided to an injured person.
Complete step by step answer:
First aid is generally abbreviated as ABC – Airway, Breathing, and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation).
Airway: see that the person’s airway is clear. If a person is responding that means his airway is clear.
Breathing: Check for the chest movements (up and down), the air coming out of the nose, If it is present then the person is breathing.
CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation): If the person is unconscious and not breathing then CPR is performed by a trained person.
Hence the correct answer is option(A)
Note: In any accident case, First aid helps to keep an injured person breathing. It also helps to reduce or minimize the pain and consequences of injury until the ambulance arrives.
