Questions Learners Have About First Aid Basics

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising First Aid Basics, including how questions match the official theory exam in Portugal, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the very first thing I should do if I witness a road accident in Portugal?

According to Portuguese law, your first actions must be to stop safely, secure the scene to prevent further accidents, signal the danger (using warning lights and a reflective triangle), and then call emergency services (112) before approaching any casualties.

How do I check if a casualty is conscious?

To check for consciousness, gently tap or shake the casualty's shoulders (if safe to do so) and speak loudly, asking "Are you alright?" or "Can you hear me?". Observe any response, such as movement, blinking, or verbal reply.

When should I place an unconscious casualty in the recovery position?

The recovery position should be used for an unconscious casualty who is breathing normally. It helps to keep their airway open and prevents them from choking on their tongue or vomit.

Is it safe to move a casualty after a road accident?

Generally, you should not move a casualty unless there is immediate danger, such as fire, explosion, or other imminent risks that could further endanger their life. Moving a casualty unnecessarily can worsen injuries, especially to the spine.

Should I give water to an unconscious person?

No, you should never give food or drink to an unconscious casualty. They may choke, as their swallowing reflex might not be working properly, which could lead to serious complications.
