1. what is the universal sign for choking?

clutching the throat with one or both hands.
coughing repeatedly.
pointing to the mouth.
holding the chest.

Explanation:

• For question 10: Leaning forward helps prevent blood from flowing down the throat. Pinching nostrils applies pressure to stop bleeding. Leaning back can cause blood to enter the throat. Applying pressure to the forehead has no direct effect on stopping nosebleed. Laying flat is not the proper way.
• For question 11: Squeezing with fingers can push more venom in. Tight bandage is not correct. Scraping with flat object removes stinger without squeezing venom. Hot water is not a proper treatment.
• For question 12: Clutching the throat is the universal sign. Coughing, pointing to mouth, holding chest are not the specific universal sign for choking.

Answer:

1. Lean forward and pinch the nostrils closed.
2. Remove the stinger by scraping it with a flat object.
3. Clutching the throat with one or both hands.
