Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If someone seems unconscious or unresponsive, the first thing to do is ask if they are OK in a loud voice. If they don’t respond, gently shake them. But if they might have a spinal cord injury, it is best not to move the person until emergency services arrive.

Detailed explanation-2: -1. Check breathing by tilting their head back and looking and feeling for breaths. When a person is unresponsive, their muscles relax and their tongue can block their airway so they can no longer breathe. Tilting their head back opens the airway by pulling the tongue forward.

Detailed explanation-3: -If a person is unconscious or has a change in mental status, follow these first aid steps: Call or tell someone to call 911 or the local emergency number. Check the person’s airway, breathing, and pulse frequently. If necessary, begin CPR.

Detailed explanation-4: -Check their breathing by tilting their head back and looking and feeling for breaths. Move them onto their side and tilt their head back. Call 999 as soon as possible.
