You went to a wedding, and a known relative suddenly collapsed and became unconscious. What is the first step you would do as a healthcare professional?

Correct option is C

Ans. (c) Check for responsiveness
Sol. In an emergency situation where someone collapses and becomes unconscious, the first step follows the Basic Life Support (BLS) protocol:
1. Check for responsiveness (Correct Answer - Option c)
· Gently tap the person and ask loudly, "Are you okay?"
· This determines if the person is truly unconscious or just temporarily unresponsive.
2. Call for help (Option a)
· If there is no response, call emergency services (like 911/108/112) immediately for medical assistance.
3. Check for breathing (Option d)
· Look, listen, and feel for breathing movements for at least 10 seconds.
4. Open airway (Option b)
· If the person is not breathing, open the airway by performing the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver and begin CPR if needed.
