What is the term for the action or process of reviving someone from unconsciousness or apparent death?

Resuscitation
Restorative care
Respiration
Restraint

The correct answer is: Resuscitation

The term that describes the action or process of reviving someone from unconsciousness or apparent death is resuscitation. This process typically involves actions such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which may include chest compressions and rescue breaths to restore breathing and circulation. Understanding resuscitation is crucial for Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) as they may encounter emergencies where immediate action is needed to stabilize a patient’s condition. Restorative care, while related to helping patients regain physical functions and improve their quality of life, does not involve the immediate revival of someone who is unconscious. Respiration refers to the process of breathing and is not specifically about reviving individuals. Restraint pertains to measures taken to restrict a person's movement for safety but is unrelated to the act of reviving someone.
