Confusion & Altered Mental Status

This means the person is not acting like himself. Below are 3 simple questions you can ask to help see if something more serious might be going on. If they are unable to answer any of these questions or if they are confused, restless, or fearful, especially after passing out or being hit in the head, call 911 or visit the ER.

Ask 3 simple questions:

  1. What’s your name?

  2. Where are you right now?

  3. What is today’s date?

If a serious injury occurs, the best thing you can do for yourself or a friend is call 911 - never hesitate to ask for help! A life might depend on it.

REMEMBER: Every phone, even without a payment plan, can call 911
