1. how do you assist someone with an asthma attack?

help them use their prescribed inhaler.
perform abdominal thrusts.
have them lie down to rest.
wait to see if their symptoms improve.

Explanation:

For question 16: Laying the person down, elevating legs (to improve blood flow to vital organs), and keeping warm (prevents hypothermia which can worsen shock) are standard shock - care measures. CPR is for cardiac arrest, giving food/water can cause choking, and helping stand/walk is dangerous as blood pressure is low in shock.
For question 17: Encouraging slow, deep breaths helps restore normal carbon - dioxide/oxygen balance in hyperventilation. Cold water may not help, lying flat may not address breathing pattern, and CPR is for cardiac arrest.
For question 18: An inhaler (if prescribed) is the first - line treatment for asthma attack to open airways. Abdominal thrusts are for choking, lying down may restrict breathing more (sitting upright is better for asthma), and waiting can be life - threatening.

Answer:

1. Lay them down, elevate their legs, and keep them warm.
2. Encourage slow, deep breaths and reassure them.
3. Help them use their prescribed inhaler.
