70% to pass

What should you do if a crew member is unconscious and the face is flushed?

A administer a liquid stimulant
B lay the crew member down with the head and shoulders slightly raised
C attempt to stand the crew member upright to restore consciousness
D lay the crew member down with the head lower than the feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) lay the crew member down with the head and shoulders slightly raised. This is the correct response because laying the unconscious crew member down with the head and shoulders slightly raised helps maintain an open airway and promotes blood flow to the brain. This is the recommended first aid procedure for an unconscious person with a flushed face, as it indicates a potential circulatory or respiratory issue. The other options are incorrect - administering a liquid stimulant (A) could be dangerous, attempting to stand the person upright (C) risks further injury, and laying the person down with the head lower than the feet (D) is inappropriate for this particular condition.
