Take the Ultimate First Aid Questions Quiz
Ready to tackle first aid practice questions and ace your exam?
Use this first aid quiz to check how you'd respond to common emergencies and spot gaps before an exam or real-life event. You'll work through realistic, scored questions with clear answers, get instant feedback, and build confidence for CPR, bleeding, burns, and more - perfect for quick practice or a final tune-up.
Study Outcomes
- Recognize Common First Aid Scenarios -
Identify the signs and symptoms of emergencies such as bleeding, choking, and cardiac arrest to determine when to initiate first aid.
- Apply Evidence-Based Techniques -
Demonstrate proper methods for CPR, wound care, and the Heimlich maneuver following established first aid guidelines.
- Analyze Response Priorities -
Differentiate between life-threatening and non-urgent conditions to prioritize actions during an emergency.
- Demonstrate Practical Skills -
Perform simulated first aid procedures accurately based on quiz feedback to reinforce muscle memory and confidence.
- Evaluate Decision-Making Under Pressure -
Assess scenarios in timed formats to improve critical thinking and decision-making during real-life emergencies.
- Strengthen Emergency Preparedness -
Use quiz results to identify knowledge gaps and develop a personalized plan for continued first aid practice and study.
Cheat Sheet
- DRSABCD Primary Survey -
The DRSABCD framework (Danger, Response, Send for help, Airway, Breathing, CPR, Defibrillation) is your go-to sequence for immediate assessment (Australian Resuscitation Council). Use it every time you face a potential first aid scenario to ensure no critical step is overlooked.
- CPR Compression and Ventilation Ratio -
For adults, maintain a 30:2 compression-to-ventilation ratio at a rate of 100 - 120 compressions per minute and a depth of 5 - 6 cm (American Heart Association). A simple way to keep the correct tempo is to sing the chorus of "Stayin' Alive" during first aid practise test simulations.
- Recovery Position Technique -
Placing an unconscious but breathing casualty in the recovery (lateral) position prevents airway obstruction - tilt the head back slightly and bend the top knee at a right angle for stability (St John Ambulance). This is often tested in first aid exam questions and answers as a key airway-management skill.
- Managing Severe Bleeding -
Apply firm, direct pressure with a clean dressing and elevate the injured limb if no fracture is suspected. If bleeding remains life-threatening, a tourniquet applied 5 - 10 cm above the wound can be a last resort (Journal of Trauma Guidelines).
- SAMPLE History Mnemonic -
Use SAMPLE (Symptoms, Allergies, Medications, Past history, Last meal, Events) to quickly gather essential patient information, a common feature in first aid practice questions. This structured approach helps you make informed decisions in real-life emergencies.
