Question

which method is taught for relieving choking in an infant?
choose the correct answer
cycles of 5 back blows followed by 5 chest thrusts
cycles of 5 back blows followed by 5 abdominal thrusts
cycles of 5 abdominal thrusts followed by 5 back blows
cycles of 5 chest thrusts followed by 5 back blows

Explanation:

When an infant is choking, the recommended method is cycles of 5 back blows followed by 5 chest thrusts. Abdominal thrusts (like the Heimlich maneuver) are not used on infants as they can damage the infant's internal organs. The sequence starts with back blows to try and dislodge the object, and then chest thrusts are used as an additional measure.

Answer:

Cycles of 5 back blows followed by 5 chest thrusts
