Correct answer
Help keep the airway open.
It helps keep the airway open; it does not guarantee return of consciousness. Call 112 and monitor breathing. Do not automatically turn a road-crash trauma casualty or someone with agonal breathing onto their side. If unresponsive and not breathing normally, start CPR following the call handler: the recovery position does not replace it.
