I don't want to give you the answers because we aren't supposed to help with homework to much. I will help get you started.

First you have to make sure the person is breathing.
That is the first thing you check always. If they
aren't then nothing else matters.

Always assume a head/neck injury is involved in any accident involving an impact. Do not move them unless their life is in danger by remaining where they are. For example if they are not breathing...doesnt really matter what other injuries are sustained. They are dead unless you give rescue breathing and possibly CPR.

OK if they are breathing... whats next? :)
