Question: 1 / 400

During a primary assessment, which of the following should you check first?

Airway

During a primary assessment, someone's airway should be checked first because it is the most important for sustaining life. If the airway is obstructed, the person will not be able to breathe or circulate oxygen throughout their body. Breathing and circulation are also important, but those cannot be assessed if the airway is blocked. Responsiveness should be checked after ensuring the airway is clear and the person is able to breathe.
