Which of the following is not an immediate step in responding to a client who experiences syncope while in the fitness environment?
a. elevate legs if no injury is apparent
b. immediately begin CPR
c. turn victim on side if vomiting occurs
d. loosen tight clothing and maintain open airway
Answer: b. immediately begin CPR
Immediately beginning CPR is not a step in responding to a client who experiences syncope while in the fitness environment. If the other actions are taken and the client does not respond and pulse and breathing cease, then CPR would be appropriate.
