Explanation:
If you suspect a person is in shock, call 911 or your local emergency number. Then immediately take the following steps:
Lay the person down and elevate the legs and feet slightly, unless you think this may cause pain or further injury.
Keep the person still and don't move him or her unless necessary.
Begin CPR if the person shows no signs of life, such as not breathing, coughing or moving.
Loosen tight clothing and, if needed, cover the person with a blanket to prevent chilling.
Don't let the person eat or drink anything.
If the person vomits or begins bleeding from the mouth, and no spinal injury is suspected, turn him or her onto a side to prevent choking
Wrist sprains usually take from 2 to 10 weeks to heal, but some take longer. Usually, the more pain you have, the more severe you wrist sprain is and the longer it will take to heal.
They have weakened immune systems so they would catch more than a cold and it could possibly kill them.
