A security guard observes someone exhibiting the signs of being intoxicated as they are stumbling towards them slowly. How should they proceed?

Arrest them for being intoxicated
Contact the police and give them your location along with the details of the intoxicated individual
Note not to assume they are intoxicated and ask them if they need any medical assistance
All of the above

The correct answer is: Note not to assume they are intoxicated and ask them if they need any medical assistance

Approaching the situation requires a careful and supportive response. It’s important for the security guard to prioritize the safety and well-being of the individual who appears to be intoxicated. By asking if they need any medical assistance, the guard can assess the situation without making assumptions that could escalate it unnecessarily. This option fosters a compassionate interaction and allows the guard to follow up appropriately based on the individual’s needs. The other choices involve more severe actions, such as arresting the person or calling the police immediately. While it is essential to involve law enforcement in certain situations, it may not be necessary to do so right away if the individual is not posing a threat to themselves or others. The choice to reach out for medical assistance first ensures that the person’s immediate health is addressed without escalating the situation to a legal matter prematurely.
