Yes, first aid is indeed the help given to a person. More specifically, it's the immediate assistance or medical help provided to an injured or ill person before professional medical help arrives, such as an ambulance or doctor.
First aid aims to:
- Preserve life: Address immediate threats to life, like ensuring a person can breathe.
- Prevent further harm: Protect the casualty from further injury.
- Promote recovery: Provide comfort and support until professional help arrives.
Therefore, first aid is crucial in providing initial care and support to someone in need, potentially saving lives and minimizing the severity of injuries until professional medical assistance is available.
