1. select all that apply.

select three ways to clear an obstruction.

• reach into the mouth and remove the object.
• use an object to push the obstruction.
• strike the person who is choking on the back with your hand.
• put the person choking on the stomach.
• use a device designed to clear obstructions.

Explanation:

To clear an obstruction (e.g., in choking situations), we analyze each option:

• "Reach into the mouth and remove the object" is valid if the object is visible and accessible.
• "Strike the person who is choking on the back with your hand" (back blows) is a standard first - aid technique for choking.
• "Use a device designed to clear obstructions" (like a suction device for airway obstructions) is a proper method.

Options like "Use an object to push the obstruction" can push the object deeper, and "Put the person choking on the stomach" is not a standard method for clearing obstructions.

Answer:

• Reach into the mouth and remove the object.
• Strike the person who is choking on the back with your hand.
• Use a device designed to clear obstructions.
