This guide is not intended to supplant first aid certification but instead to provide basic lessons to the general public. Sections cover first aid principles; life-saving techniques; wounds and bleeding; environmental injuries; disorders affecting consciousness; bone, joint, and muscle injuries; poisoning, bites, and stings; and medical problems and emergencies. Each section closes with a self-test; answers are provided in an appendix. This title can be used as a companion guide to support rank advancement within programs of the Boy Scouts of America.
