If the victim is breathing normally, what should you do?

When a victim is breathing normally, placing them in the recovery position and monitoring their condition is the appropriate action to take. The recovery position is specifically designed to keep the airway open and clear, allowing any fluids to drain from the mouth while also ensuring that the individual can breathe freely. This position reduces the risk of choking if the person should vomit, and it helps maintain an unobstructed airway.

Monitoring the victim's condition is equally important, as it allows you to observe any changes in their status. If they begin to exhibit signs of distress or if their breathing becomes irregular, you can promptly initiate further first aid measures, such as calling for emergency help or performing CPR if necessary.

Other options, such as leaving them in their current position or performing CPR immediately, would not provide the best care for a victim who is breathing normally. Leaving them as they are could risk airway obstruction, while performing CPR is not warranted unless the individual is unresponsive or not breathing. Calling for more help is important in some situations, but if the person is breathing normally, you can ensure their safety and stability first by using the recovery position.
