🔍 Key Concepts

• primary survey in first aid (ABCs: Airway, Breathing, Circulation) • common, immediate life-threatening conditions in an unconscious person • difference between injuries that threaten life immediately vs those that can be checked later

💭 Think About

• When someone is unconscious, what is the first thing that can quickly become fatal if not checked right away? • Which choice relates directly to whether oxygen is getting into the body right now? • Which options can usually be assessed or treated after you confirm that the person is actually sustaining life?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is directly connected to airway and breathing. • Decide which conditions can wait until after you know the victim is alive and ventilating. • Ask yourself: in basic first aid, what does the letter B stand for in the ABCs, and which choice matches that?
