When someone is unresponsive, how should you check if they're breathing? ✅ Gently tilt their head back and lift their chin to open the airway. ✅ Get close and look, listen, and feel for normal breathing for up to 10 seconds. Which example below gets it right? 👇
As Parliamentarians, we owe it to Joe and others who have lost their lives in the water to make sure we are properly debating and putting forward suggestions as to how best to promote water safety through the education system. [7/8]
