In First Aid, which of the following is NOT part of the 'care' step?

• A. Providing as much first aid as possible
• B. Calling the victim's emergency contact
• C. Comforting the victim
• D. Performing CPR as needed

Answer: (B)

The care step in First Aid is about stabilizing and supporting the person with hands-on actions you’re trained to perform while help is on the way. This includes giving first aid you can provide, keeping the person calm and comfortable, and, if needed, performing CPR to restore breathing or circulation. Calling the victim’s emergency contact isn’t part of these care actions; the priority is to activate emergency services and deliver life-saving care. Notifying a family member is important in some situations, but it’s a separate step from the care you provide at the scene. So the action that isn’t part of the care step is contacting the victim’s emergency contact.
