When the ill or injured person is a child, you must obtain consent
True, you shouldn’t touch children without adult consent (make an attempt to see if the guardian is around)
A responsive person suddenly begins to not feel well, their color is off, and they complain of sickness.

Checking an unresponsive adult (who is breathing and begins to vomit).
Check scene, PPE, tap and shout, LLFSOL, call 911, get AED, recovery position
Name three things you should be prepared to tell 911 about the situation when you call.
Location, your phone number, description of emergency, number of injured or ill people, what help has been given, etc
If a person is unresponsive and in need or care, consent is implied.
True, they are unable to consent, so a reasonable and prudent person would assume consent.
A person begins to choke, you check the scene, PPE, ask if you can help, there is no answer besides a nod of his head.
What should you do?
Call 911, begin 5 back blows and 5 abdominal thrusts and repeat until the object is out or the person goes unresponsive.

Why is important to remove gloves properly?
To avoid transferring infectious material between you and the victim.
If you see an adult suddenly collapse you should first call 911
False, Check the scene, gloves, tap and shout, look, listen, feel for signes of life and if unresponsive, then call 911.
