After a person has been revived by artificial respiration, they should be __________.
• Basic first aid principles after successful artificial respiration (rescue breathing) • Risks of shock and relapse after resuscitation • Safe vs. unsafe actions immediately after a near‑drowning or unconsciousness
• Think about what the body needs right after breathing has restarted: Is it more important to move around or to rest? • Which options could make the victim’s condition worse (for example, affecting breathing, circulation, or consciousness)? • Consider which choice best prevents further injury, heat loss, and shock while you continue to monitor the victim.
• Eliminate any option that introduces alcohol or other substances to the victim. • Eliminate any option that requires the victim to exert themselves or walk immediately after being revived. • Focus on the option that emphasizes rest, warmth, and continued observation of breathing and pulse.
