UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Immediate, short-term treatment before medical professional arrives

First aid refers to the immediate, temporary care given to a person who is injured or suddenly taken ill, before professional medical help arrives.

Its purpose is to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, and promote recovery until proper medical treatment can be provided.

First aid does not involve surgical intervention, long-term hospital-based care, or specialist-prescribed medication, as these are forms of professional medical treatment rather than immediate emergency response.

Therefore, first aid primarily refers to Immediate, short-term treatment before a medical professional arrives.
