To check for one's consciousness, tap the person and ask if they are okay.
Consciousness is the state of being aware of and responsive to one's environment or surroundings.
<h2>Further Explanation</h2>
This means that two things must be happening if one is still conscious: firstly, he or she must be aware of the environment, secondly, he or she must be in a state whereby he can respond to the environment.
However, if one is not aware or not having the ability to respond to his environment as supposed to, it simply means the person is experiencing unconsciousness; the person is unconscious.
To be unconscious means, to be unresponsive.
These are the various signs an unconscious person can have
- Their impulse becomes weak.
- They can even stop breathing.
- Spinal cord or a part of their bones can be broken.
- They could have just fallen from a high positioned surface and so on a so forth.
These are what to do if a person is unconscious.
