Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

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 experiencing the absence of cardiopulmonary activity.Lying supine or prone will not prevent aspiration in the event of vomiting.
