Which of the following actions is NOT part of checking for a problem with a person?

Dialing 9-1-1 immediately is not part of the initial steps for checking for a problem with a person. The first action taken in an emergency situation typically involves assessing the scene and the person to identify immediate threats or needs. This includes looking for obvious signs of injury, checking for breathing, and looking for any medical jewelry that may provide critical information about the person's health conditions.

Once a thorough assessment has been completed and you have determined the severity of the situation or if the person is in need of emergency assistance, then calling for help is the appropriate next step. This approach ensures that responders are not called prematurely, allowing the rescuer to first gather necessary information to relay to emergency services.
