Final answer:

Before attempting CPR, ensure safety, check for responsiveness, call for help, and perform chest compressions while following proper techniques.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before attempting CPR, there are several things you must do:

  1. Ensure your safety and the safety of others by checking for any potential dangers or hazards.
  2. Assess the person's responsiveness by gently shaking and asking if they are okay.
  3. If the person is unresponsive, immediately call for emergency medical assistance.
  4. Place the person on a firm, flat surface.
  5. Position your hands correctly on the sternum between the lines at T4 and T9.
  6. Begin performing chest compressions at a depth of at least 5 cm and a rate of 100 compressions per minute.
  7. Continue performing CPR until the person regains consciousness or medical professionals take over.
