When Someone Faints

*Place the person in a horizontal position with the head below the level of the heart and the legs raised.

*Turn the person's head to the side so the tongue dosen't cover the airway.

*Loosen tight clothing and apply cool, moist towels to the face and neck.

*Do not slap or shake the person.

*Do not try to give the person anything to drink--not even water.

*Do not allow the person arise until the sense of physical weakness passes.
