Ishmael takes a series of drugs that lower his blood pressure to a dangerous level, so he calls 911. While the ambulance is on the way, Jeanene comes home and finds Ishmael breathing shallowly with dazed eyes and pale, cool skin. What should Jeanene do?

Pale, cool skin, shallow breathing, and dazed eyes can signal shock from dangerously low blood pressure. Jeanene should help Ishmael lie flat, which supports blood flow to vital organs while they wait for emergency responders. She should not give him food or drink, and propping up his head or trying to cool him is not the appropriate response.
