The 3 Cs stand for which actions?

• A. Check, Call, Care
• B. Care, Call, Check
• C. Check, Confirm, Care
• D. Call, Check, Cancel

Answer: (A)

The 3 Cs describe an emergency-response sequence for bystanders. Start with Check: quickly assess for danger and determine if the person is responsive. Ensure the scene is safe for you and others before proceeding. Then Move to Call: if the person is unresponsive or in urgent need, call emergency services or have someone else do it right away so professional help is on the way. Finally, Care: provide appropriate on-site care—such as basic first aid or CPR if trained—while you wait for responders, and follow dispatcher instructions. This order matters because safety and awareness come first, professionals should be summoned promptly, and immediate care should be given without delaying the arrival of help. Sequences that start with caring or that include unrelated steps (like cancel) don’t align with how to effectively manage an emergency scene.
