Correct answer
Whether they are breathing normally, to act on the assessment and the 112 instructions.
Whether they are breathing normally. Unresponsiveness requires calling for help promptly and assessing breathing; gasping or abnormal breathing must not be mistaken for normal breathing. If unresponsive and not breathing normally, start CPR following the 112 call handler and use an AED if available. Do not wait while repeatedly checking whether an isolated manoeuvre “works”. Do not sit the person up or give water; if trauma is suspected, avoid unnecessary movement and follow airway instructions.
