When to use it
Use it immediately after a sprain, strain, or minor bruise to recall the four first-aid steps in the correct order.
Example
After rolling an ankle, stop walking (Rest), apply an ice pack for 20 minutes (Ice), wrap with an elastic bandage (Compression), and prop the foot on a pillow (Elevation).
Common mistake
Skipping Elevation because the injury feels minor. Raising the limb above heart level significantly reduces swelling and speeds recovery.
