The answer to the first question is: Leaning forward.

Explanation for each option:

  • Leaning back: Incorrect. Leaning back can cause blood to run down the throat, which may lead to choking or swallowing blood.
  • Leaning forward: Correct. Leaning forward helps prevent blood from entering the throat and allows it to drain out of the nose.
  • Lying down: Incorrect. Lying down can also cause blood to run down the throat.
  • Standing up: Incorrect. While standing up is not as harmful as leaning back, it is not as effective as leaning forward in managing a nosebleed.

The answer to the second question is: Check for breathing and bleeding.

Explanation for each option:

  • Shake them to wake them: Incorrect. Shaking an unconscious person can cause further injury, especially if they have a spinal injury.
  • Check for breathing and bleeding: Correct. It is important to assess the person's condition by checking for breathing and any signs of bleeding, and then provide appropriate first aid or call for emergency help.
  • Leave them alone: Incorrect. Leaving an unconscious person alone can be dangerous as they may need immediate medical attention.
  • Call their family: Incorrect. While notifying family may be important, the immediate priority is to assess the person's condition and provide necessary first aid or call emergency services.
