If you see your neighbor collapse in her front yard, you should take the following steps:
1. Assess the situation and determine if there is an immediate threat to the person's life. If so, call your local emergency number immediately (e.g., 911).
2. If the person is unconscious, check for breathing by placing your ear over their mouth and nose and listening for signs of breathing or by checking for chest movement. If they are not breathing, begin performing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation).
3. If the person is conscious but unable to speak or communicate, check for any signs of choking or other medical emergency, and take appropriate action.
4. If someone else is present, ask them to locate the neighbor's emergency contact information, such as their phone number, and call for medical assistance while you stay with the neighbor.
It is essential to remain calm and take quick action when responding to a medical emergency. Your prompt response could help save a life.
