Question 5 of 5
A patient is mowing his lawn on a hot Saturday afternoon. He begins to notice chest pain. What should his first action be?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The patient's first action should be to stop mowing and sit or lie down. Chest pain can be a symptom of a heart attack, and it is important for the patient to immediately rest and avoid physical strain. Continuing to mow the lawn could worsen the condition or lead to further complications. Sitting or lying down will help reduce the heart's workload and minimize the exertion on the body. If the chest pain continues or worsens, seeking medical help should be the next course of action.
