A) "He has snoring respirations, so let's go ahead and open the airway with the head-tilt, chin-lift." B) "Do not cover him with a blanket because that will cause his blood vessels to dilate and drop his BP." C) "Let's go ahead and elevate his legs 8 to 12 inches so more blood gets to his vital organs." D) "Let's take off the oxygen mask and start positive pressure ventilation to assist his breathing."
