Question

which is a main goal of cpr?
removing an object stuck in someone’s throat
providing oxygen to the lungs through breathing
reducing the swelling of the chest muscles
waking up a patient who is unresponsive

Explanation:

• Removing an object from the throat is the goal of the Heimlich maneuver, not CPR.
• CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) involves chest compressions and rescue breaths. The rescue breaths aim to provide oxygen to the lungs (and then to the bloodstream) to maintain vital organ function until professional help arrives.
• Reducing chest muscle swelling is not a goal of CPR.
• CPR is not intended to wake up a patient; its main goal is to sustain life by maintaining circulation and oxygenation.

Answer:

B. providing oxygen to the lungs through breathing
