The correct option is "b" i.e place your fist over the athlete's breastbone.

What is heimlich maneuver?

The Heimlich maneuver, often known as abdominal thrusts, is the method. Abdominal thrusts raise your diaphragm and allow you to breathe out. The foreign object is ejected from your airway as a result of this. Five back blows are also advised by the Red Cross, despite the fact that certain organizations, including the American Heart Association, don't teach this method.

The Heimlich maneuver requires different steps depending on the person you are helping: another somebody who isn't a parent or a child (under a year old), a child or a pregnant woman, yourself.

Any person you do the move on should still need medical attention thereafter. This is to make sure their airways and throat have not sustained any physical harm.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - applying a bulky dressing.

Explanation:

An injury due to falling hard onto a railing on his chest can lead to a serious issue such as rib popping out or dislocation of ribs which is the case here according to the symptoms. Dyspnea is a term used for shortness of breath due to any underlying disease or injury related to lung or chest area.

Exposure of chest also suggests that it is most likely the case of dislocation or popping out of the ribs. It should not be a move or tightly packed thus bulky dressing would be the appropriate action.

Thus, the correct answer is - applying a bulky dressing.
