There has been an accident in the outside delivery area, and a driver has been injured. While performing the primary survey on them, you notice that they are unconscious but breathing and their head is at an odd angle. What do you do?
Select one:
A. Put them in the recovery position
B. Wait for emergency services to arrive
C. Straighten their head
Answer (2)
When an unconscious but breathing individual is found with their head at an odd angle, the best action is to place them in the recovery position to maintain an open airway. It's important to call emergency services and monitor their condition until help arrives. Do not attempt to straighten their head, as this could exacerbate any spinal injuries.

When encountering an unconscious yet breathing individual, do not straighten their head but instead place them in the recovery position to keep the airway clear. Always call for emergency services and monitor until help arrives. Prioritize safety to prevent further injury. ;
