AMDifficulty 3/5

When helping someone injured in a road crash, should you give them medication on your own initiative to calm them?

Correct answer

No.

No. Do not administer sedatives or other medicines on your own initiative. Make the scene safe without exposing yourself, call 112 and reassure the person calmly. Follow emergency-service instructions and provide help within your skills; do not replace specifically instructed treatment with improvised decisions.
