Q

The proper stimulant for an unconscious person is a/an __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic life support (BLS) priorities for an unconscious victim • What is considered a chemical irritant versus a physical stimulus • Modern first-aid guidance on what lay responders should NOT do to an unconscious person

💭 Think About

• Which option, if done incorrectly, could cause neck, back, or internal injury to an unconscious person? • Which option focuses on airway and breathing stimulation rather than striking, shaking, or hitting the victim? • Which option is more consistent with older first-aid practices that have largely been discontinued in current CPR/first-aid guidelines?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any option that could worsen spinal or internal injuries • Ask whether the method is recommended in current CPR/first-aid training, not just “it might wake them up” • Consider whether using a chemical irritant near the airway is still considered safe and appropriate practice
