Detailed explanation-1: -When a NA is assessing an emergency situation, what should he do? Remain calm, act quickly, communicate quickly. Notice the time, try to find out what happened.
Detailed explanation-2: -If a resident starts to choke, what is the first step that a NA should take? Call for help and begin giving abdominal thrusts if the resident indicated they are choking.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first step in any emergency is the recognition of the problem and providing help. When in doubt or when someone is seriously injured or ill, you should always activate the emergency response system by calling 911 in the United States, or your own locality’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) number.
Detailed explanation-4: -First aid is the immediate care given to the injured or suddenly ill person. First aid does not take the place of proper medical treatment. It consists only of giving temporary assistance until competent medical care, if needed, is obtained, or until the chance for recovery without medical care is ensured.
