	Step 2: Check for a response
	Step 3: If you get no response, call for help. If/when someone comes, tell them to call 911. DO NOT look up and just say "someone call 911" make eye contact with them and point right at them and say "You, go call 911 and get a first Aid kit or an AED if one is available.
	Step 4: Look Listen and feel fro breathing, if no breath give two breaths over one minute each.
	Step 5: begin compressions - the ratio of breaths to compressions is 2 to 30 for adult, infant & child.
