Explanation:

1. When encountering a non - breathing person, starting CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) with rescue breaths is the immediate action. Calling for transportation (a) is not the first step. Trying to help control breathing (b) is not relevant as the person is not breathing. Helping with medication (d) is not the priority.
2. After repositioning the head and rescue breaths not going in, doing 30 chest compressions (b) is part of the CPR cycle. Calling EMS (a) is not the next step in the CPR process at this point. Beginning care for choking (c) is incorrect as the issue is with rescue breaths. Resuming CPR without rescue breaths (d) is not the standard procedure.
3. For a concussion, if the person loses responsiveness (b), it is a critical sign to call EMS. A blunt impact (a) alone may not require an immediate call. Age (c) is not the sole determining factor.
4. Under international law, the red crystal (d) is equal to the red cross and red crescent. The blue cross (a), red circle (b), and red star (c) are not.
5. For frostbite, protecting the affected area with loose, dry dressings (d) is correct. Thawing with hot water (a) can cause further damage. Wrapping tightly (b) restricts blood flow. Breaking blisters (c) is not recommended.
6. Before approaching a scene, checking for hazards (a), determining scene safety (b), and asking what happened (c) are all part of the assessment. So, all of the above (d) is correct.
7. If a choking person becomes unresponsive, ensuring EMS is called (a) is the first step. Back blows (b), chest thrusts (c), and abdominal thrusts (d) are for responsive choking.
8. If a diabetic emergency does not improve after 10 minutes of sugar, calling EMS and administering more sugar if safe (a) is correct. Rolling into recovery position (b) is for other situations. Monitoring for another 10 minutes (c) is not appropriate. Giving insulin (d) is incorrect as it is for high blood sugar, not the described situation.
9. Heat stroke (c) can cause hot, red skin and aggressive behavior. Heat exhaustion (a) has different symptoms. Hypothermia (b) is low body temperature. Heat cramps (d) have muscle - related symptoms.
10. If alone and choking, calling EMS and performing abdominal thrusts against a safe object (b) is the best option. Pulling fist into stomach (a) may not be effective. Chest blows (c) are not the standard. Resting (d) is not helpful.
