Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #1626 (Set 50)

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

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — lay the crew member down with the head and shoulders slightly raised

Elevating the head and shoulders slightly for an unconscious patient with a flushed face reduces intracranial pressure and promotes venous return from the head, stabilizing cerebral perfusion.
