You can remember the "First Life-Saving Steps" by remembering the ABCs. Which choice correctly identifies the ABCs?

The choice that identifies the ABCs correctly outlines the critical steps for providing emergency care in a life-threatening situation.

Airway refers to ensuring that the person's airway is clear, which is essential for breathing. If the airway is obstructed, the individual cannot get enough oxygen, making this the first priority in a life-saving scenario.

Breathing follows, addressing whether the individual is breathing and, if not, the necessary steps to assist or provide rescue breaths if you are trained to do so.

Circulation involves checking for signs of circulation, such as pulse, and is essential for determining if the person's heart is functioning properly. If there is no circulation, immediate action may include initiating CPR, which can help restore blood flow and oxygen to vital organs until professional help arrives.

Thus, the ABCs of Airway, Breathing, and Circulation provide a systematic approach for first responders to prioritize life-saving measures effectively. This foundational knowledge is critical for anyone involved in emergency response, including those in the NJROTC program, where understanding these concepts can be life-saving.
