Correct answer

  • AComprobar su respiración y su pulso y si está consciente.Check their breathing and pulse and whether they are conscious.
Explanation

After protecting the scene and calling for help, the first thing to do for an injured person is to check whether they are conscious, breathing and have a pulse, to know what help they need. They must not be moved in a private vehicle or given anything to drink, because this can make their injuries worse.
