What should you do if a person is breathing normally but unresponsive?

When a person is breathing normally but unresponsive, placing them in the recovery position and monitoring their condition is the appropriate action. The recovery position helps maintain an open airway and prevents choking if the person were to vomit, which is particularly important since they are unresponsive. This position allows them to breathe freely and reduces the risk of aspiration.

Monitoring their condition is vital; you need to stay with them to keep an eye on their breathing and responsiveness. If their breathing changes or stops, it would then be necessary to initiate CPR or call for emergency help.

The other approaches are not suitable in this situation. Leaving the person as they are could compromise their safety if their condition deteriorates. Performing CPR is only indicated if the individual is not breathing or is breathing abnormally. Shaking them to awaken them is also inappropriate, as it can cause injury or fail to address the underlying issue of their unresponsiveness.
