(2.2.c) checking the person: quiz
an important guideline to follow when giving care for a victim before ems personnel arrive is to—
○ prevent a victim from moving.
○ do no further harm.
○ keep the victim warm.
When providing care to a victim before EMS (Emergency Medical Services) personnel arrive, the principle of "do no further harm" is fundamental. Preventing a victim from moving is not always appropriate (e.g., if it causes more pain or injury in some cases). Keeping the victim warm is a good measure in some situations (like for shock), but it is not the overarching, most critical guideline. The "do no further harm" principle ensures that any actions taken by a first - aider do not exacerbate the victim's condition.
