Answer to Question 1

D
The E stands for expose. This reminder is to assist the first responder to assess for other injuries that may be hidden under clothing.

Answer to Question 2

C
The patient who is breathing should be placed in the recovery position to allow the patient to vomit out water without danger of aspiration. CPR is not indicated as the patient is not expe-riencing the absence of cardiopulmonary activity. Lying supine or prone will not prevent aspira-tion in the event of vomiting.
