2. Прочитайте тест и ответьте на следующие вопросы.

1. Can a layperson provide first aid?

2. What are the "3 aims" of first aid? (They were also men­tioned in the text from Unit 15.)

3. What should any first aider do to help an injured person?

First aid is the provision of limited care for an ill­ness or injury, which is provided to a sick or injured patient until definitive medical treatment can be accessed, or until the illness or injury is dealt with.

It generally consists of series of simple, sometimes life-saving, medical techniques, that an individual, either with or without formal medical training, can be trained to perform with minimal equipment.

Much of first aid is common sense, and people are almost certain to learn some elements as they go through their life (such as knowing to apply an adhesive bandage to a small cut on a linger). However, effective life-saving first aid requires hands-on training by experts, especially where it relates to potentially fatal illnesses and injuries, such as those that require cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), as the procedures may be invasive, and carry a risk of further injury to the patient - which the "3 aims” of first aid clearly try to avoid.

As with any training, it is more useful if it occurs before an actual emergency, although in many countries, emergency ambulance dis­patchers will give basic first aid instructions over the phone while the ambulance is on its way.

There are certain skills which can be regarded as core. These should always be treated in the order of priority, usually given by the "3 Bs":

• Breathing

• Bleeding

• Bones

This means that any first aider should first seek to treat any prob­lems with breathing, before attempting to deal with a bleed or bro­ken bone (which is not to say that they should not be considered at the time).
