=An unconscious patient, (that is still breathing and has a pulse), may be placed in the *Lateral Recumbent position, (Recovery Position), provided there is no sign of spinal injury!==A patient will loose the ability to control the muscles - this becomes a problem if the patient is lying *Supine, (on their back), because gravity will have the tendency to pull the tongue, (also a muscle), towards the posterior wall of the throat and therefore blocking the airway. This problem can be solved by turning the patient onto their side.==In the case of a suspected spinal injury, leave the patient in the position found and use the *Jaw Thrust Manoeuvre to open the airway.=

Can an IUD make your body act pregnant after having it for one year?
An IUD does not make your body think that you are pregnant. Depending on your body you may find that your cycle can be extremly heavy for the first 6-8 months and then it tends to slow down. Some women may even loose their cycle after about a year and a half after having the IUD put in place. This doesn't mean that your body thinks its pregnant. Its only because the linning of your uterus has been shed away over that year and the linning does not come back while the IUD is keeping your uterus open. The IUD does not pass out hormones to tell your body that it is pregnant like a real pregnancy. Certain IUD's can have hormones with them but not to the extent of making your body feel pregnant.
