tilt their head gently back to open up the passage way, put your hand with small amounts of pressure on top of the heart area, and put your ear close to their mouth to hear for breathing, and watch to see if their chest moves up and down.

when checking if a n unconcious victim is breathing, you open the victims airway and the put you ears close to the victim's mouth, and then look at the chest and see if it rises. If not,, you give 2 rescue breath.

Yes - you should check for breathing (and a pulse) for no longer than 10 seconds before giving breaths. If you do not detect a pulse, you should also give CPR.
