Question 1

• Diagnosing illness is for medical professionals, not first aid.
• First aid aims to save life, stop further harm, and help recovery.
• It can't replace professional care.
• Providing medication is beyond basic first aid.

• It can't guarantee full recovery.
• It doesn't replace professional help.
