CHECK FOR A PULSE. IF THEY AREN'T BREATHING BEGIN CPR.

IF THEY FAINT AND TRY TO GET UP GET THEM WATER AND LET THEM SIT A WHILE AND ASK THEM IF THEY HAVE EATEN. MAKE SURE THEY AREN'T DIABETIC.

Ok you check if they are breathing

dont move them

phone an ambulance

wait with them and clover them with a blanket from the elbows down

elevate the legs to push blood to the heart and lungs and give them a pillow to put their head in

adults-heart related collapses

children-breathing related collapses

No, leave them lying on the floor. If you pick them up you might drop them and hurt both of you.

Most faints do not last long at all. Stay with the person, send someone else for help, and when they come round encourage them to stay lying down (if they get up they will probably faint again).

if they are on the ground...set them to the wall or on a chair...try to make them smell anything unique....something like union....that shd wake them up.

Good LUCK

You don`t have to pick them up, but you are supposed to check if they have just fainted or got a heart attack and are breathing. No heartbeat or breath, you call 911. If heartbeat and breath you put them in a position where possible vomit can`t choke them.
