If you find someone who is unresponsive and has been displaying unusual behavior, what action should you take?

When you encounter someone who is unresponsive, especially after displaying unusual behavior, placing them in the recovery position is crucial. This position helps maintain an open airway, reducing the risk of choking, particularly if the individual is unconscious and there’s a chance they could vomit or have fluids in their mouth. The recovery position allows for better drainage of secretions from the mouth while also preventing the tongue from blocking the airway.

Taking this action is aligned with the priorities of ensuring the person's safety and preventing further complications until emergency medical services can arrive. While assessing the situation and obtaining consent are important in other scenarios, they are not appropriate in cases where the person is unresponsive. Starting CPR would be necessary if the individual is not breathing or has no pulse, but if they are still exhibiting signs that could indicate potential recovery, maintaining their airway in the recovery position is the immediate priority.

Conducting a secondary assessment would typically follow after ensuring the individual’s airway is clear and they are safely positioned, allowing for further evaluation of the person's condition.
