  1. Seeing if the casualty is breathing

  2. Obtaining help

  4. Ensuring there is no danger

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Before providing any first aid, the responder must ensure the scene is safe - no danger from fire, traffic, electricity, falling debris, or violent persons. This prevents the responder from becoming another casualty. Checking breathing, obtaining help, and checking for bleeding come AFTER ensuring scene safety.
