Explanation:

Question 1

In emergency action steps, the first step is to check the scene and the victim for safety and to assess the situation. Asking for assistance, calling 911, or providing care come after this initial check.

Checking the scene first is crucial to ensure that the responder is not putting themselves in danger while trying to help. Identifying the person’s details, deciding supplies, or determining professional help need come after ensuring safety.

During the “Check” step, ensuring the area is safe for you and others is a key part. Performing CPR without assessment, moving the injured immediately, or waiting for others are not part of the check step.

Answer:

C. Check the scene and the victim.
