select the correct answer.
youre sitting with your friend in the lunchroom and she chokes on a piece of candy. what is the best way to help her?
a. perform the heimlich maneuver
b. give her a dose of ipecac syrup
c. perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Explanation:

When someone is choking on an object (like a piece of candy), the Heimlich maneuver is the standard first - aid technique to dislodge the object from the airway. Giving ipecac syrup is for inducing vomiting in cases of poisoning, not choking. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is used when a person's heart or breathing has stopped, not for choking. So the correct option is A.

Answer:

A. Perform the Heimlich maneuver
