Question

joe is a counselor at a summer camp for children ages 13 to 16. during an activity, one of the campers slipped and hit his head. joe immediately checked for consciousness and found that the boy was not breathing. what should joe do next? call 911. do compressions. do compressions while calling 911. do gentle rescue breathing while calling 911.

Explanation:

In a situation where a child (13 - 16) is unconscious and not breathing, the correct first aid protocol is to start compressions (CPR) while simultaneously calling 911. Doing compressions alone or just calling 911 isn't sufficient, and gentle rescue breathing isn't the priority here compared to starting compressions while getting emergency help.

Answer:

Do compressions while calling 911.
