What is first aid?

  1. Involves all aspects of foot hygiene and preventive/corrective care of the foot and ankle.

  2. Gas generated in the stomach or bowels.

  3. Emergency care given immediately to an injured person.

  4. An upright panel forming the foot of a bed.

The correct answer is: Emergency care given immediately to an injured person.

First aid is the immediate care given to a person who has been injured or is suddenly taken ill. It is aimed at preserving life and preventing the condition from worsening until professional medical help arrives. Options A, B, and D do not accurately describe first aid, as they involve foot hygiene, gas in the stomach or a panel for a bed, which are unrelated to emergency medical care. Only option C accurately describes what first aid is and is therefore the correct answer.
