In this situation, the best course of action would be to **administer Naloxone and call 911**.

Harry's symptoms, such as blue lips, confusion, and difficulty staying awake, are indicative of an opioid overdose, potentially from the Oxycodone found nearby. Naloxone (Narcan) is an opioid antagonist that can quickly reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, and calling 911 ensures that he receives further medical assistance.

Starting CPR or rescue breathing may be necessary if he is unresponsive and not breathing, but administering Naloxone and calling for emergency help should be prioritized.
