Question

Answer instructions

Answer 1

To properly arrange the steps for first aid for a small burn, follow these chronological steps:

1. Assess the situation - Ensure the scene is safe before approaching the individual.
2. Check the victim - Determine the extent of the burn and the victim's condition.
3. Cool the burn - Run cool (not cold) water over the burn for at least 10-20 minutes to reduce heat and pain.
4. Remove any constricting items - Take off jewelry, belts, or tight clothing near the burn area before it begins to swell.
5. Cover the burn - Use a clean, non-stick bandage or cloth to protect the burn area.
6. Monitor for signs of shock - Keep an eye on the victim for any symptoms of shock, such as dizziness or confusion.
7. Seek medical attention - If the burn is severe, covers a large area, or involves sensitive areas (like the face, hands, or genitals), urge the individual to get professional help.

Make sure to follow the correct order to ensure effective first aid.
