NAHP NRCMA Exam - Topic 2 Question 38 Discussion

An unacceptable procedure for a fainting victim is to pour water over the victim's face. This action can cause further distress and does not address the underlying cause of fainting. Instead, appropriate measures include loosening tight clothing, checking for injuries, and keeping the victim lying down until they recover.
