Question

what is the indication for mouth - to - mouth rescue breaths?
choose the correct answer
when medical oxygen is not available
if the victim is elderly
when a barrier device is not available
if the victim is an infant
if the victim is a child

Explanation:

Mouth - to - mouth rescue breaths are a basic form of artificial ventilation. Medical oxygen is not the standard requirement for mouth - to - mouth. The age of the victim (elderly, infant, child) is not the key indication. A barrier device (like a pocket mask) is the preferred option for rescue breaths as it reduces the risk of disease transmission. When a barrier device is not available, mouth - to - mouth rescue breaths can be performed.

Answer:

When a barrier device is not available
