First aid techniques are defined as immediate, temporary care given to the injured person until professional medical care is provided.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not applicable
• D. Not specified

Answer: (A)

First aid is the initial, immediate care given to an injured or ill person at the scene before professional medical care arrives. It is meant to be temporary and focused on stabilizing the person, preserving life, preventing further harm, and easing suffering until definitive medical treatment can be provided. This aligns with how first aid is defined and taught, which is why the statement is true. The idea that it would be something other than immediate, temporary care (like not defined or not applicable) doesn’t fit the established definition, and it’s understood that first aid is not a substitute for professional treatment but a bridge to it.
