what should you remember or use and what is the exception?: Use the
ABC rule: Airway breathing, and circulation. The exception to the rule
is with actual CPR, use C-A-B for CPR. Also remember safety first and
acute before chronic. If the pt. is not in distress then you assess. If the
pt is in distress then you should do something. If the pt has diaphorisis
you should always do something.
