Which duty involves administering first aid?

• A. Helmsman
• B. Lookout
• C. Administer First Aid
• D. Operate Damage Control Equipment

Answer: (C)

The duty that involves medical care on a boat is administering first aid. This role is specifically about assessing injuries or illness, providing initial medical treatment, controlling bleeding, stabilizing the patient, and arranging for further help if needed. That’s the responsibility that matches the task described.

The other duties are about different functions: steering the vessel, which is the helmsman’s job; watching for hazards and reporting them, which is the lookout’s job; and handling damage-control tasks like leakage control or operating pumps and fire suppression, which fall to the damage-control role. None of those involve giving medical care, so the option that directly states administering first aid is the correct fit.
