Recognizing an emergency
The duties of a pediatric first aider include properly assessing the injured person. How they do this will depend on what they know about the situation and what is obvious to them when they approach. For example, if a child is talking or crying then the pediatric first aider can assume they are responsive and breathing. If more than one person is involved the first aider may need to work out whose situation is more serious as they will be higher priority.
