What should you do if a passenger becomes unresponsive but is breathing normally?

When a passenger becomes unresponsive but is breathing normally, the most appropriate action is to place them in the recovery position. This position is designed to maintain an open airway and allow any fluids to drain from the mouth, minimizing the risk of choking. Positioning the person this way also helps ensure that if their condition changes and they do stop breathing, it will be much easier to provide assistance.

While calling for emergency medical services is important, it usually comes after ensuring the passenger is in a safe and stable position. Likewise, performing CPR is reserved for situations where the person is not breathing normally; therefore, starting CPR when the individual is still breathing would not be appropriate. Leaving the person in their current position may present risks, particularly if they are unable to protect their airway, which is why repositioning them into recovery is vital for their safety until professional help arrives.
