    This document provides information on basic first aid. It describes four common first aid situations: a younger sister cutting her finger, a friend falling down stairs, a mother touching a hot pan, and a baby brother swallowing a toy. It then defines first aid as immediate, temporary care for someone who is suddenly ill or injured. The roles of first aid are described as bridging the gap between victim and physician until the physician can provide care. The objectives are to save lives, prolong life, and alleviate suffering. Characteristics of a good first aider include being gentle, observant, resourceful, tactful, and sympathetic. Principles of first aid include staying calm, reassuring the victim, and avoiding moving them unless necessary.
