Answer 1

Answer: A. Marta is conscious, and Michael and George are unconscious.

Step-by-step explanation:

If they are trying to prevent aspiration, the patient is likely to be unconscious and needs to be turned on its side. This prevents the patient from choking because if they’re unconscious, they can’t swallow the saliva.
