Question

Which of the following should you do next? (A) Immediately begin CPR, starting with chest compressions.(B) Give 5 abdominal thrusts.(C) Place the victim in the recovery position.(D) Give 2 ventilations and begin CPR.

Answer 1

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

When a person is rescued from water, then it is sure that there will be no breathing, no pulse with only occasional gasps. While performing the primary assessment on a unresponsive adult who has been rescued from water must be given 2 rounds of ventilation and then immediately CPR should be started.

The cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a life saving technique which is used in emergency conditions including heart attack or in case of drowning conditions.

In this condition the chest compression is carried out after 2 ventilation( mouth to mouth breathing) until further help arrives.
