B
True
False

Answer 1

The correct answer is False. In conscious choking victims, abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) should be performed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is False. In this situation, the man is most likely choking and unable to speak due to an obstruction in his airway. However, since the scene is safe, it is important to assess the situation and determine whether the victim is conscious or unconscious before administering any CPR intervention. In conscious choking victims, performing abdominal thrusts (also known as the Heimlich maneuver) is the appropriate first aid technique to clear the airway obstruction.
