➤ How should you position an unconscious patient who is breathing poorly?
If a patient is unconscious but breathing, place them in the recovery (lateral) position to keep the airway clear and reduce aspiration risk. If breathing is inadequate or absent, open the airway with head‑tilt–chin‑lift or jaw thrust (if spinal injury possible) and prepare for rescue breaths or advanced airway management.
