🔍 Key Concepts

• Unconscious casualty care (airway, breathing, circulation) • Risk of aspiration (liquids going into the lungs) when giving anything by mouth • Difference between oral stimulants and inhaled stimulants

💭 Think About

• Can an unconscious person safely swallow liquids like coffee, tea, or alcohol without choking or aspirating? • Which option works without requiring the person to be awake and able to protect their own airway? • In basic first aid, what is the general rule about giving drinks to an unconscious person?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that an unconscious person should not be given anything by mouth • Check which choice, if any, works by inhalation rather than drinking • Confirm that the safest ‘stimulant’ here is one that does not depend on swallowing and helps avoid aspiration.
