5. GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR FIRST AID   1. The first thing to do before administering first aid to an ill or injured person, you should check first the scene and the person.   Pause and look at the scene and the person then form an impression.   2. If the person is awake and responsive and there is no severe life-threatening bleeding:   Obtain consent. Tell the person that you will be providing first aid. Tell a bystander to get the kit for first aid Use appropriate PPE or Personal Protective Equipment like gloves, if available. Interview the person to gather more information (signs and symptoms) Conduct a head-to-toe check

6. 3. If the Person Appears Unresponsive :   Shout the person’s name if it is known to get the attention. Tap the person’s shoulder (if the person is an adult or child) or the bottom of the person’s foot (if the person is an infant) and shout again if there is no response, while at the same time checking for normal breathing. For no more than 5-10 seconds, check the responsiveness and breathing.

7. 4. If the person is breathing:   Tell someone or a bystander to call 911 or the designated emergency number   Then gathering information from bystanders Conduct a head-to-toe check. If there are no obvious signs of injury, roll the person onto his or her side into a recovery position.   5. If the person is NOT breathing:   To call 911 or the designated emergency number, tell a bystander in the scene Ensure that the person is lying face-up on a firm, flat surface such as the floor or ground. Begin the CPR Continue administering CPR until the person is breathing, or EMS or trained medical responders arrive on scene.
