Aims of First Aid

a)                To preserve life

b)                Prevent Further Harm: Also sometimes called the prevention control from worsening, or danger or further injury, this covers both external factors, such as moving a patient from any cause of harm, and applying first aid techniques to prevent worsening of the condition, such as applying pressure to stop a bleed from

becoming dangerous.

c)                To Promote Recovery: First Aid also involves trying to start the recovering process from the illness or injury, and in some cases might involve completing a treatment, such as in the case of applying a plaster to a small wound.
