"Reasonable and Prudent" Actions Correct Ans - Only move a person who's life is in
danger; ask responsive person or guardian for permission before giving care; check for life-
threatening conditions before giving further care; call EMS/911 if necessary; continue to
give care until more highly trained personnel take over.

there to help, and ask if you can administer care; if the ill/injured person is a child, ask
parent or guardian unless one is unavailable.

person is unresponsive, confused or has a mental impairment, the person refuses care.
