How are injuries typically classified?

Injuries are often classified by type (e.g., sprains, fractures, concussions), cause (e.g., sports, accidents, overuse), severity, and the specific body part affected.

What are the most common types of injuries?

Common injuries include sprains, strains, fractures, cuts, bruises, burns, and head injuries like concussions, often resulting from falls, sports, or repetitive motion.

What is the immediate first aid for a minor injury?

For minor injuries like cuts or sprains, typical first aid involves cleaning the wound, applying pressure to stop bleeding, RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) for sprains, and pain relief.

When should medical attention be sought for an injury?

Seek medical attention for severe pain, visible deformity, inability to bear weight, deep cuts, persistent bleeding, loss of consciousness, or any injury significantly impacting function.
