Question

for an unconscious person showing symptoms of shock, which of these steps should you perform to provide first aid?
a. apply ice to the persons forehead.
b. keep the person up and walking around.
c. sit the person up against a wall.
d. check the persons airway and breathing.

Explanation:

When dealing with an unconscious person in shock, ensuring airway and breathing are the top - priority first - aid steps. Ice application to the forehead is not the first step and may not be relevant. Keeping an unconscious person up and walking or sitting them up against a wall can be dangerous as it may impede blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. Checking the airway and breathing helps to determine if immediate life - saving measures like CPR are needed.

Answer:

D. Check the person's airway and breathing.
