If the airways are blocked, clearing the blockage should be the immediate concern because without oxygen, brain damage will happen within 4 minutes. 2. To minimize injuries or to prevent them from happening. The first aid- er needs to survey the area and remove the injured individual away from any objects that may be hazardous. Also, he/she needs to bandage up and apply pressure to all wounds to prevent excessive blood loss. 3. To hasten or promote recovery. Depending on what the wound is, there are different treatments that are recommended. Try to help fix, not worsen, the injuries as best as you can. plss hep help​
