you must ______________ before giving rescue breaths
open the airway
call 911
check for pulse

Explanation:

• First question: An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) delivers an electric shock to the heart to restore its rhythm. CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) helps maintain blood flow but doesn't restore the electrical rhythm. The Heimlich maneuver is for choking.
• Second question: The proper hand placement for CPR is the middle of the chest, in between the nipple line. This area allows effective chest compressions.
• Third question: You must open the airway before giving rescue breaths. If the airway is blocked, rescue breaths won't be effective. Checking for a pulse is part of assessing the victim, and calling 911 is important but not directly related to the immediate step before rescue breaths.

Answer:

1. B. AED
2. B. Middle of the chest, in between the nipple line
3. A. Open the Airway
