Describe a first aid treatment given for an electric shock at home?
When electrical shock injury happens at home, the main power switch should be shut off. If that cannot be done, the alternative is for the rescuer to stand on a dry, nonconducting surface and use a nonconducting object to push the victim away from the source. The source should never be touched. Emergency medical help should be contacted as soon as possible. The victim especially if shocked by high voltage (500volts or more) is evaluated at the emergency room of a hospital.
