PROCESS QUESTIONS:
Answer the process questions in 2-3 sentences only.

1. Why do we need to follow the steps in conducting the primary and secondary survey of the victim? Explain your
answer.
ANSWER:

Following steps before conducting the primary survey on the victim is essential because it avoids from
panicking, further complications, and helps us organize the important things and treatments we must do to
avoid misdoing them. If we don’t follow steps, there’s a great possibility that we would be out of our minds
and won’t know or forget what to do first. It can also affect the victim’s condition especially that we are also
panicked and we can’t organize the steps we must do first and last.

2. How important is promoting safety to oneself, at home, and in the community? Explain your answer.
ANSWER:

Promoting safety not just to ourselves, but also at home and in the community is very important. It doesn’t
just save one life but majority of the population, especially when everyone are aware about these safety
protocols and must-dos. It is significant for it lessens the risks of people to lose someone they love and keeps
us away from harm. If we are aware to promoting safety, we can keep ourselves away from harm, we can
help other people from a specific emergency with the adaptation of first aid and primary survey, and we can
easily organize the important things to do while treating a patient/victim. And last but not the least, we can
help in sustaining the safety risks of our community and at home such us avoiding doing things that are
harmful or might cause hazards and accidents, to assure everyone else’s safety.
