Question

how should the heimlich maneuver be performed on a child over 1 year of age?
clasp your fists between the shoulder blades
give gentle back blows
give quick thrusts inward and upward below the breastbone
place the child in the recovery position

Explanation:

The Heimlich maneuver for a child over 1 year involves giving quick, upward and inward thrusts below the breastbone (the correct technique). Back blows are for infants or partial obstructions in some protocols, clasping fists between shoulder blades is not standard for Heimlich, and the recovery position is for unconscious patients after clearing airway, not during Heimlich.

Answer:

Give quick thrusts inward and upward below the breastbone
