Is it permitted to give medication to an injured person while providing first aid?

Choose an answer to check yourself.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Prohibited.

Explanation

The person giving first aid does not know the victim's diagnosis, allergies or contraindications, and a drug can cause harm or hide symptoms that matter to doctors. So giving medication during first aid is prohibited, even in extreme necessity.
