Question

you have an unconscious choking person. 911 has been called and you just gave the first set of 30 compressions. what should you do next?
a check the mouth for an object
b give 2 breaths
c start another 30 chest compressions
d give abdominal thrusts

Explanation:

In the case of an unconscious choking person, after giving 30 compressions, the next step in CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) for an unconscious choking victim (when 911 is called) is to check the mouth for an object. This is part of the sequence to clear the airway if possible before proceeding with breaths or further compressions. Giving 2 breaths (option B) would be done after checking the mouth and ensuring the airway is clear, but first, we check the mouth. Starting another 30 compressions (option C) skips the airway check, and abdominal thrusts (option D) are for conscious choking victims. So the correct next step is to check the mouth for an object.

Answer:

A. Check the mouth for an object
