Initial Assessment Training Summary:

Before entering into a rescue scene, the rescuer should perform an initial assessment to ensure that the scene is safe. Next, personal protective equipment should be worn to protect the rescuer before beginning to help. If alone and the patient is breathing, the rescuer may need to put the patient in the recovery position while leaving to contact emergency services. If the patient is not breathing, then perform CPR. The recovery position allows the patient to breathe easily, stay safe, and it takes away the risk of them choking if they vomit.
