    2) If no response, position patient to open pockets.
    (Listen for loose change while positioning patient)

    3) Extend neck. Open mouth and look for gold fillings.
    ( If time allows, check airway.)

    4) Palpate neck for gold chains and necklaces.
    Note: Carotid pulse may be an incidental finding.

    5) Palpate pocket for wallet.
    (Tell bystanders you are checking for femoral pulse.)

    6) If uninsured, call for help immediately.

    7) Traditional CPR is optional at this point.
