Answer 2

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

Consent is not required by the victim before providing him with first aid. First aid can be defined as the primary treatment which is given to the victim just after his injury.

This is not specific, it is very general and does not require special consent from the victim. It is not required only in case of severe surgery where there are chances that the person might die.

In this case there is a need that the victim or the member along with victim signs a consent.
