Question

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

Explanation:

Mouth - to - mouth rescue breaths are a basic form of artificial ventilation. When a barrier device (such as a pocket mask) is not available, mouth - to - mouth can be used as an alternative to provide oxygen to the victim. For infants, there are specific techniques (mouth - to - mouth - and - nose) but it's not the general indication for mouth - to - mouth. Medical oxygen is the preferred option when available. The age of the victim (child or elderly) is not the key indication; the unavailability of a barrier device is more relevant.

Answer:

When a barrier device is not available
