True. When a person is unconscious and not breathing but still has a pulse, they are experiencing respiratory arrest. This means that the person's heart is still beating, but they are not able to breathe on their own. It is important to seek medical assistance and, if trained, to provide rescue breaths or ventilatory support until help arrives.
