What is the best way to determine unresponsiveness during CPR?
Ask the victim loudly and repeatedly, "Are you okay!" If they do not answer the question, it only stands that they are unresponsive.

Is the Fowler's position is the best position for patients having trouble breathing?
yes
Does a person require CPR if they are unresponsive but is breathing adequately?
You would only administer CPR if the person does not have a pulse or (at a slightly lower place on the chest) if you knew/believed the person was choking. Otherwise, if the person has a pulse but is not breathing, you should administer rescue breaths.
What is the best position for a casualty when attempting to maintain airway?
The best position depends on other issues the victim has. If the victim is conscious and suffering from a shortness of breath, it will be much easier to sit him/her upright. If suffering a CVA, it would be best to lie him/her down at a 15 degree angle. And then there are the different cases in between.
What position would you transport a patient who is experiencing breathing distress?
For a patient experiencing breathing distress, the best position to transport them is typically sitting up or in a semi-Fowler's position (leaning back at about a 30-45 degree angle). This position helps to maximize lung expansion and ease breathing. If they are unable to sit up, they can be placed in a comfortable position that allows for easier breathing, such as on their side. Always monitor their condition and adjust as necessary.
What is the best way to open an airway of an unresponsive victim with no neck injury?
Tip their head back 45 degrees and open their mouth up. Put your ear near their mouth to be sure air is flowing in and out. Shazam! Instant air.
Should you listen to exhaled air to check if adult victim is breathing?
Listening for exhaled air is not a reliable method to determine if an adult victim is breathing. Instead, you should look for other signs such as chest rise and fall, and feel for breath on your cheek. The best practice is to check for breathing for no more than 10 seconds using the "look, listen, and feel" method. If there is no breathing or only gasping, call for emergency assistance and begin CPR if trained.
When an unconscious victim is lying on their back what is the best way to open their airways?
When an unconscious victim is lying on their back, the best way to open their airways is to use the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver. This involves tilting the head back slightly by placing one hand on the victim's forehead and using the fingers of the other hand to lift the chin forward. This position helps to lift the tongue away from the back of the throat, clearing the airway for breathing. If spinal injury is suspected, the jaw-thrust maneuver may be preferable, as it minimizes neck movement.
