If they do intend respond, make comfortable and monitor and note their response.

S end for help - Get someone to get help for the subject.

A irway - Open their mouth and observe for foreign objects, if foreign material is indeed present. Place them into the recovery position, tilt their head and open their mouth. You may attempt to remove the object at risk of the subject biting.
