What are the goals of first aid?

The goals of first aid are to:

1. Preserve life. This is the most important goal of first aid, and it should always be your top priority. If the person you are helping is not breathing or has no pulse, you need to start CPR immediately.

2. Prevent further harm. Once the person's life has been preserved, you need to focus on preventing further harm. This may involve stopping the bleeding, immobilizing a fracture, or providing shelter from the elements.

3. Promote recovery. Once the person's condition has been stabilized, you need to focus on promoting their recovery. This may involve providing them with food and water, helping them to rest, or getting them to a hospital or clinic.

Remember, first aid is not meant to replace professional medical care. However, it can help to save lives and prevent further harm until medical help arrives.
