Signs and symptoms that someone needs first aid vary greatly. If someone has fallen, pain somewhere in the body can mean that first aid is needed. If someone is laying on the floor and not responding, is bleeding from a cut, choking on food, or a host of other things, it is a sign that first aid is needed.
