Question

1. saleem is at a birthday party when one of the guests collapses. how does saleem know he should call 911?

after being shaken and asked, \are you okay?\ the guest is still unresponsive.
the guest is clutching his throat and gasping for breath.
the other guests are frantic and tell saleem to call for help.
after a few seconds, the guest regains consciousness and refuses medical attention.

Explanation:

• In medical emergencies, if a person is unresponsive after an attempt to rouse them (shaking and asking "Are you okay?"), it indicates a serious situation that requires immediate professional help (calling 911).
• Clutching the throat and gasping for breath may indicate choking, but the first - step in emergency response is usually to check for responsiveness. If the person is responsive, different first - aid measures (like the Heimlich maneuver) may be applicable before calling 911.
• Just because other guests are frantic is not a reliable indicator. Panic can occur without a true life - threatening emergency.
• If the guest regains consciousness and refuses medical attention, there is no immediate need to call 911 (assuming no other underlying issues that the guest is unaware of, but the question does not suggest that).

Answer:

After being shaken and asked, "Are you okay?" the guest is still unresponsive.
