Correct answer
Minimise movement and monitor breathing, following emergency-service instructions.

Opening the airway takes priority if it becomes compromised. If breathing becomes abnormal, follow instructions to begin CPR. Recovery positioning is for suitable non-trauma situations not requiring CPR.
