Explanation:

Question 1

When making a 911 call, the three W's are Who (who is involved or the caller), What (what is happening), and Where (the location of the emergency). Option A matches this, while other options include incorrect terms like Why or When which are not part of the standard three W's for 911 calls.

First aid is defined as the initial assistance or help given to a victim of an accident or illness before professional medical help arrives. Option A (primary survey) is a part of first aid, option C (assessing vital signs) is a step in first aid, and option D (treating for shock) is a specific first - aid treatment. But the best definition of first aid is the first help given to the victim of an accident, which is option B.

A victim who is not breathing (a life - threatening condition) needs rescue breathing. The Heimlich Maneuver is for choking (when the airway is blocked by an object), starting CPR immediately is for when there is no pulse and no breathing, and the rate of rescue breaths is about 10 - 12 breaths per minute (not 12 - 15 in the context of this question's options). Following the steps for rescue breathing (option D) is the correct treatment for a non - breathing victim.

Answer:

A. Who, What, Where
