AMDifficulty 3/5

Should an injured person in a road accident be given any medicine or alcoholic drink to stimulate them?

Correct answer

No.

If we witness a traffic accident involving injured people and must assist them, under no circumstances should we give them drink, food, medicines or alcohol, even if they ask for it, as this may worsen their condition. The medical professionals who attend the scene must assess the situation and give them whatever they consider necessary.
