"I have been first-aid certified for a couple of years and, although I have never needed to administer it, I am sure that the sight of blood and other injuries is something I can handle. I have three younger siblings and have seen my share of nosebleeds and nasty scrapes from falling off bikes. It's never bothered me."

The hiring authority knows it's one thing to be first-aid trained, and another thing to actually administer first-aid. Discuss with the interviewer any exposure you have had to cuts, scrapes, blood, or other injuries. You should assure the interviewer that you are not queasy at the sight of an injury and that you can act professionally and appropriately in a medical situation.

"In my three years' experience as a lifeguard, I have encountered a fractured arm, multiple broken noses, and a few gashes which required me to stop the bleeding until a medic could come and administer stitches. I can assure you that I can handle a variety of situations, and deliver first aid without becoming queasy or bothered by the sight of blood."

Yes, I have administered first aid before. As a dive master, we should be able to take responsibility for giving first aid to our guest when needed. The sight of cuts, scrapes, and blood did not bother me at all. I encountered someone crashed on a motorbike, and I helped him clean and dress his cuts and scrapes.

Your answers are good! I have rearranged your answer a bit for the sake of flow.
"The sight of cuts, scrapes, and blood do not bother me at all. I once encountered a person who crashed his motorbike. I helped him clean his wounds and dressed his cuts and scrapes. I have also administered First Aid as a dive master."
