QUICK FIRST AID QUIZ
ANSWER THESE FIVE QUESTIONS (SIMPLY CHECK YES OR NO):
1. Do you know that treating minor wounds and injuries on the spot
can often help an injured person AVOID A BIGGER MEDICAL PROBLEM?
YES NO

whatever you can to help someone who's injured. But do you realize
that it's just as important to know WHAT TO DO and what NOT TO DO when
someone gets hurt?
YES NO
3. There's a reason why we're all encouraged to learn basic first
aid - even children. Do you know that only BASIC KNOWLEDGE AND
PREPARATION CAN GO A LONG WAY in an emergency?

If you answered NO to any of the above questions, you must read this
book.
You can't afford to be uninformed or misinformed. Whether you live
or travel alone or have children, adults or elderly adults in your
household, you need to know first aid techniques so you can respond
effectively in any situation.
You Can Make a Big Difference in an Emergency - If You Know Basic
First Aid Techniques and Have the Right Supplies On Hand.
FACT: Unintentional injuries continue to be the fifth leading cause
of death, exceeded only by heart disease, cancer, stroke, and
pulmonary diseases....
ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO THINKS:
\"IF I ENCOUNTER AN EMERGENCY, ALL I HAVE TO DO IS CALL 9-1-1 AND
THEY'LL SEND HELP.\"
BUT DO YOU REALIZE THAT YOU ARE DEPENDING ON SOMEONE ELSE? While
emergency responders often arrive within minutes, you can't guarantee
that they will not be delayed or that you'll be in a location that's
easy to reach!
At the very least, basic first aid techniques can make an injured
person more comfortable until help arrives. In some cases the right
thing to do for an injured person may be nothing - such as not moving
him or her - and waiting for emergency responders. But you need to
recognize when to do what. This indispensable first aid handbook is a
complete resource everyone should have.
WHAT IF THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS TO YOUR LOVED ONE:
* During a sleep over one child begins to choke...
* A child riding a bicycle down a hill hits a tree and sustains a
severe laceration on her head...
* A babysitter recognizes that a child who stopped breathing has an
obstruction in her airway...
* A maintenance man unplugging wires from an electrical box kneels
down in wet grass and is shocked with 2,000 volts of electricity,
which stops his heart and breathing...
WILL YOU BE PREPARED?
* During a sleep over one child begins to choke... another relieves
him by administering the Heimlich Maneuver.
* A child riding a bicycle down a hill hits a tree and sustains a
severe laceration on her head... onlookers rush over and prevent her
from going into shock.
* A babysitter recognizes that a child who stopped breathing has an
obstruction in her airway... after dislodging the object with
abdominal thrusts, she begins CPR.
* A maintenance man unplugging wires from an electrical box kneels
down in wet grass and is shocked with 2,000 volts of electricity,
which stops his heart and breathing... fellow workers call for help
while others perform CPR until the medics arrive seven minutes later.
In most of these cases, emergency responders comment that if it
hadn't been for the skills of the person who rushed in to help, the
injury would have been much worse. These are stories of people who
were prepared and who turned out to be critical links in the chain of
survival.
HERE'S MY OWN INCREDIBLE STORY...
Dear Friend,
I'd been an avid hiker for years - a member of AMC, one of the
largest environmental organizations in the county - but I never
bothered to learn the basic first aid information that I'm now
convinced everyone should know, even my 10-year old son.
It took a harrowing accident in the woods to open my eyes to how
important it is to know just the first aid basics. And when I did come
to this realization, I rushed to make sure everyone in my household
also was knowledgeable about how to administer basic first aid - so
they could be prepared whether they were at home, on the road or in a
foreign country.
The hike that taught me a lesson took place in upstate New York,
around New Paltz. It was sponsored by the AMC, so there was an
official hike leader and a "sweep" to make sure everyone in the back
was accounted for.
It was a beautiful fall day, so a big group showed up for the hike
- maybe 30 of us. This particular hike leader, Stan, is known for
encouraging hikers to bring food for sharing with the group - cheese,
crackers, dried fruit, cookies - the more exotic the better.
We'd hiked about four miles, at which point we found a lovely spot
with a view to stop and have lunch. We were passing our goodies around
when we heard a shriek from someone in the group. Ironically, it was
Stan, the hike leader. Apparently, he was in the process of opening a
can of grape leaves and cut himself, seriously.
Thank goodness, at least one person knew exactly what to do. Joe
jumped right in and began issuing orders to us to give him this and do
that, to call for help, to dig into our backpacks for various first
aid supplies. He asked most of us to step aside, but I heard from the
eyewitnesses that it was a very deep slash near a main artery.
By the time the Parks Department emergency responders arrived,
which seemed like at least a half an hour, maybe more, Stan was stable
and ready to be transported to the hospital. Since I'd volunteered to
drive Stan's car, a friend and I followed the ambulance to the
hospital, waited a few hours for Stan to be released, and drove him
home.
Stan was lucky, and he knew it. As a hike leader, he was well versed
in first aid techniques - and on the way home he told us how
competently Joe had handled the situation. The incident drove home the
point of how important it is to know basic first aid. What happened to
Stan could happen to me or someone else in my own kitchen, or
anyone's. I registered for the AMC's first aid course that week.
I wanted to share this story so you'd be encouraged to take the
initiative to learn as much as you can about first aid. Reading this
book - and sharing the information with everyone in your household -
is one of the best things you'll ever do for your own safety and the
safety of others.
Sincerely,
Janet B.

YOU'VE HEARD LOTS OF STORIES OF HOW QUICKLY EMS ARRIVED...
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE ALSO TIMES WHEN EMS JUST DOESN'T GET THERE IN
TIME
WITH THIS BOOK, YOU CAN ACT RIGHT AWAY - YOU WON'T BE DEPENDENT ON
OTHERS!
It's always a part of the story: how quickly the EMS team arrived -
or how long it took. There are even some unbelievable stories, like
the fact that the fire department was only a half-mile away from the
emergency, but for some reason it still took over 15 minutes for them
to arrive.
In an emergency, 15 minutes can be an eternity. This is why you need
to know what to do, how to react! You'd be amazed that what may seem
like an inconsequential fix turns out to be a crucial stop-gap measure
for saving someone from permanent impairment or even death.
THIS BOOK BREAKS IT ALL DOWN AND GIVES YOU STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
ABOUT WHAT TO DO IN A RANGE OF SITUATIONS - FROM A MINOR CUT TO A
HEART THAT STOPPED BEATING!
Many people do not realize that sometimes the best course of action
is to stay calm, make the injured person as comfortable as possible
without exacerbating the problem, and do your best to provide comfort
and emotional support until help arrives.But the key lies in knowing
what to do and what not to do! This comprehensive book addresses
everything you need to know.
KNOWLEDGE YOU NEED AT HOME, AT WORK, DURING YOUR LEISURE ACTIVITIES
AND WHEN YOU TRAVEL...
The book tells you everything you need to know about handling
medical problems that can occur in the home, on your way to work, at
work, at the supermarket, during recreational activities and when you
travel. You'll notice that we've mentioned practically every minute of
every day. That's why the information in this book is so important for
everyone to know, even children. Because things happen, and they can
happen at any time, which is why you need to be prepared.
If you're an avid traveler, it's especially important that you learn
basic first aid and travel with a complete first aid kit. If you're
someone who likes to visit exotic, remote places, chances are you are
well versed in first aid techniques. If you're not well informed, do
not take another trip without buying this book and reading it cover to
cover - in fact, be sure to make room for it in your pack.
But even if you're a less adventurous type, do not leave home
without the knowledge that's contained in this book. You do not want
to have to depend on emergency responders in a foreign country. Be
prepared to address any situation so you or an injured person can be
in the best shape possible when the medics arrive.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW BASIC FIRST AID, YOU NEED TO MAKE IT A PRIORITY ON
YOUR TO-DO LIST.
Not everyone was a Boy Scout or Girl Scout, so you may not have had
the benefit of first aid training when you were young. But even if you
were taught basic first aid some time during your life, you need to
take another look and see what has changed - what is new and which
techniques are no longer used - and this book covers it all. In fact,
getting up to speed should be #1 on your to-do list because a mishap
could happen at any time.
MINUTES COUNT WHEN SOMEONE IS INJURED. BE READY TO HELP WITH THIS
BOOK
When it comes to first aid, you can't afford to be uninformed or
misinformed. If you answered "No" to any of the questions in our quiz,
you need to buy this book and read it today. You'll be amazed to learn
how simple many first aid techniques are - if you only invest the time
to find out. Basic first aid is not just for professionals, it's for
everyone, even children.
As we noted above, many of the American Red Cross heroes have been
children. Basic first aid is all about helping each other - but no one
should undertake to help unless she/he knows what to do and what not
to do.
