select the correct answer.
james suffers a heart attack. his heartbeat and breathing have stopped completely. how would you help him?
a. call 911 and wait for medics to arrive.
b. perform the heimlich maneuver.
c. perform cpr.

Explanation:

When a person's heartbeat and breathing have stopped completely (cardiac arrest), CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is crucial. It helps to keep oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until more advanced medical help arrives. Calling 911 is important but just waiting (Option A) is not sufficient as every minute without circulation reduces the chances of survival. The Heimlich maneuver (Option B) is used for choking, not for cardiac arrest.

Answer:

C. Perform CPR.
