Question

a 10 - year - old female just collapsed on the floor after choking on a grape. what would be your first action after calling 911? a. attempt 2 rescue breaths b. give 30 abdominal thrusts c. give 30 chest compressions d. open the airway and look for the object in the airway

Explanation:

When a person collapses after choking, after calling 911, chest - compressions are the first step as they help to circulate blood and may dislodge the object. Rescue breaths are not appropriate if the airway is blocked. Abdominal thrusts are for conscious choking victims. Looking for the object in the airway without proper training can push it further in.

Answer:

C. Give 30 chest compressions
