Question

jonah saw a man unconscious sprawled on the grass near a walkway. he called out but the man did not answer. the man was not breathing so jonah called 911. while he waited for help to arrive, he made a fist, put it on the mans chest, and placed his other hand over his fist and did compressions. what should jonah have done differently? he should have done compressions before calling 911. he should have done rescue breathing instead of hand compressions. he should have used the heel of his hand instead of a fist. he should have used two fingers while doing compressions.

Explanation:

When performing chest - compressions in CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), the correct hand placement is using the heel of the hand. Using a fist is not the proper technique. Calling 911 first is correct as per standard CPR guidelines (in some protocols, especially for single - rescuers, it is recommended to call 911 first before starting compressions). Rescue breathing alone is not sufficient if the person is in cardiac arrest (compressions are crucial to circulate blood). Using two fingers is for infant CPR, not for adult CPR.

Answer:

He should have used the heel of his hand instead of a fist.
