Answer:

This position is incorrect. The woman should be standing.

Explanation:

To perform Heimlich's maneuver both you and the choking person must be on their feet. You should start the maneuver by hugging the person around the waist, making fists between

the ribs and the abdomen. Pull the person up and toward you quickly and vigorously

However, there may be a situation where the choking person may lose consciousness and not be able to stand up. If the person can no longer stand, the maneuver can be applied while sitting or lying down, but the efficiency is reduced and the choking person will be more difficult to help.
