First Aid refers to medical attention administered immediately after the injury occurs. It is devised to help non-medical workers assist in times of emergency. First Aid usually consists of short-term treatment and requires little training to administer. First Aid can include cleaning minor cuts, or scratches, treating a minor burn, applying bandages, using non-prescription medicine, and drinking fluids to relieve heat stress.
