Never try and reset a broken bone.Remember,this is first aid—if you are doing this you are preparing a patient for transport.Unless you are 100% sure of what you are doing,resetting a broken bone runs a strong risk of making things worse.
It is dangerous to give aspirin(阿司匹林) to anyone under the age of 16 as it can potentially cause damage to the brain and liver before this age.
Never,ever put yourself in danger!As much as this seems to lack compassion (同情),remember that being a hero,in this case,means nothing if you come back dead.
If you aren't sure what to do,leave it to the professionals.If it's not a lifecritical injury,doing the wrong thing can harm the patient.See the following tips about training.
Do not move the person.It could harm them even more unless they are in immediate danger.Wait for the ambulance to arrive to take over treatment of the person.
Do not touch someone who is being shocked by an electrical current.Turn off the power or use a piece of nonconductive material (e.g.,wood,dry rope,dry clothing) to separate him from the power source before touching him.
Before touching a victim or offering any aid,get permission to treat!Check the laws in your area.If someone has a “Do not resuscitate (使复苏)” order,respect it.If the person is unconscious and at risk of death or injury,without any known “Do not resuscitate” order,go ahead and treat by the permission.
