When arriving at a road traffic accident, what is the correct order of the first steps?

Scene security comes first to prevent secondary accidents; then call 112 with location and details, and only then is it safe to approach and help casualties.

What is the correct compression rate for adult CPR according to current guidelines?

Answer: 100–120 compressions per minute

Current European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines specify a chest compression rate of 100–120 per minute for effective CPR in adults.

If a casualty is unconscious but breathing normally, into which position should they be placed?

Answer: The recovery position (stable side position)

The recovery position keeps the airway open and allows fluid to drain from the mouth, preventing a breathing casualty from choking if they vomit.

Where must a warning triangle be placed on a German motorway when a vehicle breaks down or is involved in an accident?

Answer: At least 100 meters behind the hazard

On German motorways, the warning triangle must be placed at least 100 meters behind the stopped vehicle to give approaching traffic sufficient warning time.

What should you do if a crash victim is still in a vehicle that is not on fire and there is no immediate danger?
