Correct answer
- CPara evitar que se asfixie.To stop them choking.
As a general rule, do not move an injured person unless it is strictly necessary. However, if an unconscious injured person is breathing, move them into the recovery position: when they start to vomit or bleed from the mouth or nose, to stop them choking; or when you have to leave them alone to look after other injured people or get help.
