Answer:

The answer is B- Lower the victim to the ground and begin CPR starting with chest compressions.

Step-by-step explanation:

To a client who started choking on some food and stops responding, the first thing to do: Lower the victim to the ground and start CPR starting with chest compressions. Once we have the person who is unconscious and lying on the floor, we must place it face up and sit astride it, practicing the pressures in the middle of the sternum and in the same direction, with the hands superimposed and using the palm (heel) of the hand underneath.
