If Anna becomes unconscious, what is your immediate action?

Check her pulse
Call emergency services
Place her in recovery position
Administer CPR

The correct answer is: Call emergency services

Calling emergency services is vital because it ensures that professional medical help is on the way, which is crucial in any situation where a person becomes unconscious. Time is of the essence in emergencies, and having trained personnel respond can make a significant difference in the outcome. While checking the pulse, placing someone in the recovery position, or administering CPR are all important actions that may need to be taken, the first step should always be to alert emergency services. This allows you to focus on the victim while ensuring that help is en route, particularly when there is a risk of life-threatening conditions. Quick access to emergency services can provide critical support, including advanced life-saving measures, which may be beyond the capabilities of a bystander.
