To check for a response and determine if someone is unconscious, you can follow these steps:
1. Approach the person and gently shake their shoulders while calling out to them loudly, "Are you okay? Can you hear me?"
2. If there is no response, try asking them to open their eyes or squeeze your hand.
3. If there is still no response, check for signs of breathing by looking for chest movement, listening for breath sounds, and feeling for breath on your cheek.
4. If the person is not breathing or showing any signs of responsiveness, they may be unconscious. In this case, call for emergency medical help immediately and begin CPR if you are trained to do so.
It is important to act quickly and seek professional medical assistance if you suspect someone is unconscious, as it could be a life-threatening situation.

Checking Responsiveness for Unconsciousness
1. Tap the Person's Shoulder: Gently tap the person's shoulder and call out their name. If they don't respond, proceed to step 2.
2. Shout and Shake: Shout loudly at the person's ear and shake their body gently by the shoulders. If they still don't respond, proceed to step 3.
3. Check Airway: Tilt the person's head back slightly and lift their chin. Observe their chest for breathing movements. If they're not breathing, proceed to CPR.
4. Check Pulse: Place two fingers on the person's wrist or neck for 5-10 seconds. If you cannot feel a pulse, proceed to CPR.
5. Pupillary Reflex: Shine a light (e.g., flashlight) into one of the person's pupils. If the pupil does not constrict (get smaller), it's a sign of unconsciousness.
Additional Considerations:
- Some people may have decreased responsiveness due to medical conditions or medications.
- Do not assume that a person is unconscious if they do not respond to one stimulus.
- If you suspect unconsciousness, call for emergency medical services immediately.
- If the person regains consciousness, monitor them closely and seek medical attention if necessary.
