If a passenger is unconscious and breathing normally, what is the recommended management?

• A. Administer oxygen and place in recovery position
• B. Start CPR and check for a pulse
• C. Monitor from a distance and wait for guidance
• D. Offer food and water and observe

Answer: (A)

When someone is unconscious but breathing normally, the priority is to keep the airway open and ensure adequate breathing while help is on the way. Place the person in the recovery position to prevent the tongue from blocking the airway and to allow any secretions or vomit to drain safely. If oxygen is available and you’re trained to use it, administer it to improve oxygen delivery. Call emergency services and monitor breathing and responsiveness closely. Do not give food or drink, as this can cause choking, and CPR is only needed if breathing stops.
