  2. Demonstrate how to treat shock on another adult. 
    • Pretend to call 911 for emergency help immediately. 
    • Have a Cub Scout lie down on their back. 
    • Say and demonstrate, “raise their feet slightly and state unless you think there are injuries to the head, neck, back, hips, or legs. If you do not know, have the person lie flat.” 
    • Say and demonstrate, “If the person is not awake, turn them on their side. But first, be sure the person has no injuries to the head, neck, or back.” 
    • Say “If the weather is cool, cover the person with a sheet. If it is hot, do not.” 
    • Say “Do not give the person anything to eat or drink.”
