Check for a pulse

After performing a primary assessment and finding that the person has no movement or breathing, the first thing you should do is check for a pulse. This is to determine whether the person's heart is beating and to assess the severity of the situation. Having someone summon EMS (B) should be done simultaneously while checking for a pulse. Performing CPR (C) can be done if the person has no pulse and you are trained to do so. Placing the victim in the recovery position (D) should only be done if the person has a pulse and is breathing on their own.
