Answer:

The correct answer is: Jaw-thrust maneuver.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Jaw-thrust procedure is used in unconscious patients to open the airways. To properly perform this technique, someone must be placed by the head of the patient looking towards the patient's feet. The other persons' fingers must be placed in the patient's lower jaw to move it upward with the thumbs of both hands. This will allow the mouth to be opened which should open the airways as well without the need to move the patient's neck.

The technique being used above is called the jaw thrust. This is being done with the person who is not breathing. They tend to open the airway of patient to allow him or her to enter airway into her system. They perform a specific procedure in doing these to completely do the task for it to be more effective and to allow the patient to breathe.
