Answer:

Fasle

Explanation:

The abdominal thrust, as the name suggest, is administered to the abdomen. Specifically, it targets the diaphragm. It is a way to dislodge a foreign object stuck in someone's trachea - i.e. to stop someone from choking.

The giver stands behind the choking individual and applies firm pressure to their diaphragm with a fist, which should force the lungs to expel the object.

It is better known as the Heimlich maneuver.
