To provide first aid for a small burn, the following steps should be arranged in chronological order:
1. **Ensure safety**: Make sure the scene is safe for you and the individual.
2. **Assess the burn**: Determine the severity of the burn to ensure it's appropriate to treat at home.
3. **Cool the burn**: Run cool (not cold) water over the burn for 10 to 20 minutes to reduce heat and alleviate pain.
4. **Clean the area**: Gently clean the area around the burn with mild soap and water.
5. **Apply a sterile dressing**: Cover the burn with a non-stick, sterile bandage or dressing.
6. **Monitor for infection**: Watch for signs of infection like increased pain, redness, swelling, or discharge.
7. **Seek medical advice if necessary**: If symptoms worsen or don't improve, contact a healthcare professional.
Please remember that if the burn is more severe than a small burn, or there are any concerns, it's important to seek professional medical assistance promptly.
