What should a flight attendant do if a passenger collapses?

When a passenger collapses, the flight attendant's first responsibility is to ensure the safety and well-being of that passenger. Calling for assistance and performing first aid is crucial as it provides immediate care that could potentially save the passenger’s life or stabilize their condition until more advanced medical help is available.

Prompt action is key in emergencies, and flight attendants are trained to respond quickly. Therefore, initiating first aid can include checking the passenger's responsiveness, calling for medical assistance from other crew members, and using any available medical supplies on the aircraft. This proactive approach ensures that the situation is addressed effectively and demonstrates the flight attendant's training and commitment to passenger safety.

Other options, such as leaving the passenger alone or waiting for help without taking action, could lead to serious consequences for the collapsed passenger and do not align with best practices in emergency response or the responsibilities of a flight attendant. Immediate action is essential in such scenarios to provide the necessary care and maintain the safety of all passengers on board.
