DDifficulty 3/5

After making an accident scene safe and calling 112, which action is appropriate for a bystander?

Correct answer

Urgently assess casualties who are unresponsive or have breathing problems and follow 112 instructions.

Give urgent attention to unresponsiveness and breathing problems, following 112 instructions and acting within your knowledge. Life-threatening bleeding must also be recognised and addressed; no automatic order should ignore other immediate threats to life. If someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally, follow resuscitation instructions without delaying to search for a pulse. Do not routinely extract or transport casualties: avoid unnecessary movement unless immediate danger or a vital intervention requires action, and follow emergency instructions.
