Which procedure should NOT be done for a person who has fainted?

A Revive the person with smelling salts.
B Lay the person horizontally.
C Loosen the clothing.
D Give pain reliever.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Do not give pain reliever. The reason for this is that pain relievers should not be administered to a person who has fainted, as it could potentially mask underlying medical issues that may be causing the fainting episode. Instead, the proper procedures are to lay the person horizontally, loosen any tight clothing, and provide support and monitoring until the person regains consciousness. Using smelling salts to revive the person is also not recommended, as it could further stress the individual. The goal should be to create a safe and calm environment for the person to recover naturally.
