Answer:

The correct answer is: C) Begin chest compressions.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the patient collapsed in the locker room, the first things you must do is call the ambulance, then you open the airway (with the person on his/her back, you tilt the head back to lift the chain), and then you check his/her pulse and breathing. If the patient has no pulse nor is breathing, then chest compressions must be done at a rate of at least 100 per minute - to do this, you must place your hands in the middle of the chest and push hard and fast.
