When transporting an unconscious, comatose patient, the first thing to do is place them in a supine position.

ANSWER · B

Unconscious, comatose patients must first have a clear airway, so avoid the supine position to prevent phlegm from entering the airway and causing blockage. When transporting such a patient, keep them in a lateral position with the head turned to one side, so any oral secretions can flow out of the mouth.
