What is an unacceptable procedure for a fainting victim?

  1. Laying them down

  2. Raising their legs

  3. Pour water over the victim's face

  4. Ensuring they have fresh air

The correct answer is: Pour water over the victim's face

An unacceptable procedure for a fainting victim is to pour water over their face. This is because it could cause the victim to inhale water, increasing their risk for choking or drowning. Instead, it is recommended to lay them down and raise their legs, as this helps to increase blood flow to the brain and alleviate symptoms. Ensuring they have access to fresh air is also helpful in preventing further episodes of fainting.
