Question 2664
As a general rule, an unconscious injured person who is vomiting must be placed in the recovery position. Why?
- To prevent the injured person from vomiting again.
- To help them regain consciousness.
- To prevent their airway from becoming blocked.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: To prevent their airway from becoming blocked.
The recovery position helps keep the airway clear and prevents vomit from blocking it; it is not intended to stop vomiting or restore consciousness.
