What is the first step to take if someone is experiencing symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning?

Move the person to fresh air immediately
Investigate the source of carbon monoxide
Signal for distress
Seek medical help

The correct answer is: Move the person to fresh air immediately

The first step to take if someone is experiencing symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning is to move the person to fresh air immediately. This is because carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that can quickly build up in enclosed spaces and cause harm to anyone breathing it in. Moving the person to fresh air will help reduce their exposure to the gas and prevent further harm. Investigating the source of carbon monoxide may be important, but it is not the first step as the priority is to remove the person from the contaminated environment. Signaling for distress may also be necessary, but it is not the first step as the person's immediate safety should be addressed first. Seeking medical help is important, but it is not the first step as the person should first be moved to fresh air and then seek medical attention if needed.
