Correct answer

  • CNo darle nada.Not give them anything.
Explanation

An injured person must not be given anything to drink or eat, even if they ask, because they may need surgery under anaesthetic or have internal injuries, and liquid could make them vomit or choke. It is enough to moisten their lips and reassure them.
