1. Someone is choking and coughing loudly. What should you do first?

• Answer: C) Encourage them to keep coughing
  If someone is coughing forcefully, their body is already working to clear the airway. Let them cough. Back blows and the Heimlich maneuver are for when someone cannot cough, speak, or breathe.

2. You burn your hand on something hot. What’s the best first step?

Answer: B) Run cool water over it for 10 minutes
Cool running water for at least 10 minutes is the gold standard. Never use butter, toothpaste, or ice. Ice can actually cause more tissue damage on burned skin.

3. Someone falls and you think they broke a bone. What should you NOT do?

• Answer: B) Try to straighten the injured area
  Never attempt to realign or straighten a suspected fracture. Keep the person still, calm, and get medical help immediately.

4. A bee stings you. What should you do first?

• Answer: B) Scrape the stinger away with a flat edge like a credit card
  Scraping prevents you from squeezing more venom into the skin, which is exactly what happens when you pinch it with your fingers.

5. Someone feels dizzy and is about to faint. What should you do?

• Answer: A) Help them sit or lie down
  Getting them low to the ground prevents a fall injury and helps restore blood flow to the brain. Keeping someone standing when they’re about to faint is asking for a head injury.
