Show the answer

Seek medical assistanceThis was the right answer

If someone has been injured, the sooner proper medical attention is given the better. Ask someone to phone for help or do it yourself. An injured person should only be moved if they’re in further danger. An injured motorcyclist’s helmet shouldn't be removed unless it's essential.
