🔍 Key Concepts

• Scene safety comes before patient care in basic first aid and CPR • Risks of electrical shock to rescuers when power is still on • Correct sequence of actions in finding an unresponsive victim (check for danger, then response, then breathing, etc.)

💭 Think About

• If you touch the victim while the wire is still energized, what could happen to you and any later rescuers? • In basic first aid, what must you always assess and control before touching or treating the victim? • Which option, if done first, would allow you to safely perform all the other life-saving actions afterward?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which choice addresses removing or controlling the immediate danger to both you and the victim. • Check whether CPR or artificial respiration can be done safely while the wire is still contacting the victim. • Eliminate any option that puts the rescuer at immediate risk of becoming a second victim.
