Private (Pvt) to Lance Corporal (LCpl) Promotion Practice Test

DRABC is the sequence used in first aid to quickly assess a potentially unconscious person and guide immediate actions. The full expansion is Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing, Circulation. First, you check for Danger to ensure you and the patient aren’t in danger from the surroundings. If it’s safe, you assess Response to see if the person is conscious and to decide if you need to summon help. Next, you make sure the Airway is open so air can reach the lungs. Then you check Breathing to determine if the person is actually breathing. Finally, you assess Circulation to determine if there are signs of life and to decide on further steps like chest compressions if needed. The other options either omit Danger, reorder the steps, or skip a component, making them incomplete representations of the proper initial assessment.
