Question

select the correct answer
what is the purpose of the \care\ step of first aid?
a. to keep the victim from passing out before emergency care arrives
b. to avoid having to call for emergency care
c. to help the victim survive until emergency care arrives
d. to make sure there are no further dangers in the vicinity of the victim

Explanation:

The "care" step in first aid focuses on providing necessary treatment and monitoring to sustain the victim's condition until professional emergency responders arrive. Option A is too narrow (only addresses passing out), B is incorrect as first aid does not replace emergency care, and D describes the "check" scene safety step of first aid.

Answer:

C. to help the victim survive until emergency care arrives
