If someone faints, you should do all of the following except __________. Question 8 options: tighten the person's clothing. Leave the person lying down and check the airway to make sure it is clear. Call for help if he or she does not regain consciousness in about a minute. Raise the person's legs above the level of his or her head.

Answer 1

If someone else faints

Position the person on his or her back. If there are no injuries and the person is breathing, raise the person's legs above heart level — about 12 inches (30 centimeters) — if possible. Loosen belts, collars or other constrictive clothing.

To reduce the chance of fainting again, don't get the person up too quickly. If the person doesn't regain consciousness within one minute, call 911 or your local emergency number.

Check for breathing. If the person isn't breathing, begin CPR. Call 911 or your local emergency number. Continue CPR until help arrives or the person begins to breathe.

If the person was injured in a fall associated with a faint, treat bumps, bruises or cuts appropriately. Control bleeding with direct pressure.
