Your headed in the right direction, but there has been changes to your theory. First you lie them on their back. Then you tilt their head back. then check for brathing and a heart beat. If, ONLY if the persons heart is NOT beating you do CPR. Which would be 2 full breahts then 5 chest compressions. Now, just make sure you have already called 911 because once you have started CPR you can Not stop until a medical personel arrives, otherwise you would stop breathing for the patient. But If their heart IS beating, then you just have to clear their airway.
