Which of the following should NOT be done for a person who has fainted?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic first aid steps for someone who has fainted (syncope) • Body position and blood flow to the brain when a person is unconscious or has just fainted • Actions that might startle or harm a fainted person instead of helping

💭 Think About

• Think about how you would position the body to help more blood reach the brain: should the head be higher or lower than the feet? • Which options focus on improving breathing and circulation, and which are more about trying to “wake” the person up suddenly? • Consider which action could be unnecessary or even risky instead of calmly supporting recovery.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which body position is recommended in standard first aid for fainting (head vs. feet level/height). • Check which actions are gentle and support breathing and circulation, and which are sudden or potentially harmful. • Eliminate any option that conflicts with normal first-aid guidance for someone who has briefly lost consciousness.
