Question

A frantic neighbor is knocking at your door. She says that she cannot wake her sleeping roommate. She remembers that her roommate took some pills about 2 hours ago, but she is not sure what they were or where her roommate keeps them. You enter and see a person lying face-up on the couch but not moving. You want to help. How do you respond?

Answer 1

Answer:

-Check for airway passage blockage if none

-Size the scene right up.

-Shout-tap-shout. The response and respiration check should be at least 5 seconds but not more than 10 seconds.

-If no injuries are found during head-to-toe checks while waiting for EMS to arrive, put the person in a recovery position on his side.
