First aid 1 pts
The injured person is unconscious and breathing. What help do you provide?
Correct answer
- I tilt the head back slightly and lift the lower jaw, thus opening their airways, and I will monitor them until the arrival of EMS; if they stop breathing, I immediately start resuscitation.
Other options
- I immediately start heart massage.
- I only call EMS; if the injured person is breathing, I do not need to monitor them further.
Explanation
Maintain the Airway: If they are breathing, they don't need CPR yet.
