A patient should be placed in the recovery position if they are unconscious but breathing normally, to help keep the airway clear and reduce the risk of aspiration. This position involves lying the patient on their side with the head tilted back slightly to maintain an open airway. It is also appropriate if the patient is experiencing a seizure or if they are at risk of vomiting. However, if the patient shows signs of severe injury or is unresponsive and not breathing, immediate medical assistance should be sought, and CPR should be initiated.
