prevention and care of injuries

Preventing injuries involves staying aware of risks, using safety equipment, and following proper techniques—like wearing helmets or using safety gear during activities. If an injury occurs, care includes stopping activity, applying first aid such as cleaning wounds and applying pressure to stop bleeding, and elevating the injured area if possible. Monitoring for signs of worsening, like increased pain or swelling, is important. For serious injuries, seek prompt medical attention. Proper prevention and care help reduce pain, prevent complications, and promote quicker healing, ensuring safety and well-being.
