You are caring for a child who is unresponsive but breathing normally. No trauma is suspected and the scene is safe. I want to protect the child's open airway . I have extended the arm nearest me up alongside the head, brought the other arm across his chest and I have the back if his hand against his cheek. What is my next step??

Explanation : the next step is to bring the childs far knee upward and slightly bent so that the foot lies flat to the floor .now roll the child on to your side ,carefully pull on their bent knee and roll them towards you.

Once you've done this the top arm should be supporting their head and bent leg Should be on the floor to stop them from rolling over too far.
