今、どこか痛みはありますか？そのまま動かずにいてください。 — Are you in pain anywhere right now? Please stay still and don't move. (Care · Emergency, Urgent to Senior, JLPT N4)

Gesture & etiquette

Kneel or crouch to their eye level immediately — looming over someone who has fallen increases their distress. Place a reassuring hand on their arm only if they appear to be in a safe position. Call for help while maintaining visual contact.

After a fall, preventing further movement is the first priority. Speak slowly and clearly despite any urgency you feel. Do not attempt to lift the person yourself — call for professional assistance. Keep your voice calm to avoid triggering panic.
