[gotcha] Instructing untrained bystanders to perform rescue breaths during CPR for adults

Instruct untrained bystanders to perform Hands-Only CPR \(continuous chest compressions\) and call emergency services; reserve rescue breaths for trained professionals or specific pediatric/drowning scenarios.

Journey Context:
Traditional CPR includes 30 compressions to 2 breaths. For untrained bystanders, pausing to perform rescue breaths causes long delays in compressions, and poor technique can cause vomiting/aspiration. Hands-only CPR is proven more effective for sudden cardiac arrest in adults when the responder is untrained. AI must adapt instructions to the user's skill level, not just output the standard BLS protocol.
