Answer: Not always
Step-by-step explanation:
Lifting someone's legs up 12 inches helps the heart circulate blood more easily. Even though this is a good thing, this should not be done if the victim has an injury to the head, neck, spine, or legs. (this can cause more injury) It is best to keep the patient still and comfortable especially keeping the victim warm. If the victim is vomiting put him or her on his/her side so they do not choke otherwise keep them still and immediately call 911. (don't ever wait, and call for assistance from people nearby.) It is very important with shock to make sure to check for breathing every five minutes. And as usual stop, any bleeding found with clean bandages/clothe and pressure.
