Step 1: Confirm the patient is unresponsive by gently tapping them and shouting to check for responsiveness.
Step 2: Ensure the scene is safe for you and the patient before proceeding with any actions.
Step 3: Check for normal breathing by observing the chest for movement and listening for breath sounds, and check for a pulse by palpating the carotid artery.
Step 4: If the patient is not breathing normally and has no pulse, immediately call for emergency medical services (EMS) or instruct someone nearby to do so.
Step 5: Begin chest compressions immediately if the patient is unresponsive, not breathing, and has no pulse, following the guidelines for high-quality CPR.
