🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic life support (BLS) sequence • Difference between treating symptoms and treating cause of no breathing/pulse • When to begin CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)

💭 Think About

• Which option directly addresses the fact that the victim has stopped breathing and may have no effective circulation? • Would making the person comfortable or giving medications help if there is no breathing and likely no pulse? Why or why not? • In basic first aid priorities, what comes first: comfort, medication, oxygen, or restoring breathing and circulation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what standard first aid / BLS guidelines say to do immediately when someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally. • Check which choices involve actions that can be dangerous if the victim is unconscious (e.g., forcing something by mouth). • Confirm which option is an active life-saving intervention, not just supportive care.
