1. Check for responsiveness by gently shaking the person's shoulders and calling their name. If there is no response, try rubbing their sternum or pinching their earlobe.
2. Look for any signs of breathing by placing your ear close to their mouth and nose to listen for sounds of breathing, and watching for chest movements.
3. Check for a pulse by feeling for a pulse on the carotid artery in the neck or the radial artery in the wrist.
4. Assess the person's pupils by shining a light into their eyes and observing the size and reaction of their pupils.
5. Check for any signs of injury or trauma, such as bleeding, bruising, or deformities.
6. Monitor the person's vital signs, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation if possible.
7. If the person is unresponsive and not breathing, begin CPR immediately and call for emergency medical assistance.

Observational Assessment:
- Check for breathing: Place two fingers under the person's nose and mouth for 5-10 seconds. Feel for breath or watch for chest movements. - Check for circulation: Place two fingers on the carotid artery (neck) for 5-10 seconds. Feel for a pulse. - Check for responsiveness: Call the person's name or tap their shoulder while asking, "Are you okay?" - Check for seizures: Observe the person's movements and breathing for unusual patterns or rhythmic shaking.
Stimulus Assessment:
Verbal:
- Pinch and shake: Pinch the person's arm or cheek and gently shake them. - Shout: Call the person's name loudly or shout "Wake up!"
Tactile:
- Skin stimulation: Rub the person's fingers or slap the soles of their feet firmly. - Cold water stimulation: Pour cold water on the person's face or sprinkle it on their chest. - Painful stimuli: Apply pressure to the person's nail beds or thumb.
Additional Considerations:
- Assess the person's airway: Check if there are any obstructions or secretions. - Call for emergency services: If the person is unresponsive or does not regain consciousness, call for emergency medical assistance immediately. - Monitor breathing: Once the person has regained consciousness, monitor their breathing until medical help arrives. - Record observations: Note down your observations, including the person's responsiveness, breathing, and any other relevant information.
