Question

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

Explanation:

Mouth - to - mouth rescue breaths are a basic life support (BLS) technique. When a barrier device (such as a pocket mask) is not available, mouth - to - mouth can be used as an alternative to provide rescue breaths. For children and infants, specific techniques (not just mouth - to - mouth in isolation) are part of pediatric BLS. Medical oxygen unavailability is not the key indication for mouth - to - mouth. Age (elderly) alone is not the indication.

Answer:

When a barrier device is not available
