Non-urgent conditions can wait for hours or even days. Option D: High

Establish unresponsiveness first. (The patient may have fallen and
sustained a minor injury.) If the patient is unresponsive, get help and
have someone initiate the code. Performing the chin lift or jaw thrust
manoeuvre opens the airway. The nurse is then responsible for
starting CPR. CPR should not be interrupted until the patient recovers
or it is determined that heroic efforts have been exhausted. A crash
cart should be at the site when the code team arrives; however, basic
CPR can be effectively performed until the team arrives.
