Answer to Question 1

Answer: First, the electrical power source must be shut off. If this is impossible, carefully remove the electrical contact from the victim, using something that does not conduct electricity. For example, place your hand in a glass beaker and push the power supply away from the victim. The rescuer should not attempt to touch the victim without heeding these precautions.
Next, medical assistance should be called and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) started immediately. The victim should not be moved prior to the arrival of medical assistance. A fire blanket or warm clothing should be put over the victim to keep him or her warm until medical help arrives.
