These references to B. T.

Research Facts
First Aid is a broad term that refers to aid or treatment of the sick or injured before full medical treatment can be received; skills are developed to provide knowledge on a variety of medical materials and treatments for minor wounds and to stabilize more serious conditions before additional treatment; these skills are especially vital in military situations where quick response to trauma and injuries is vital.
