Answer: The answer is D: give 2 ventilations and begin CPR.

Explanation:

Since the person was pulled from the water and is gasping, there should be approximately 2 ventilations before CPR begins.  When performing CPR, the chest should be compressed no more than 2.4 inches. If possible, a breathing barrier should be used, but if there is not one, it is okay to start CPR. Someone should call 911, and give them details about the drown so they can send rescue. Perform CPR until paramedics or police arrive or until the patient is breathing on their own.

Teach Every Child about Food

1. Food labeling contributes to the obesity problem in our society because some things will say that it is low fat but it is full of so much sugar. They put these labels on because they have to but there is a law where they can be off by a certain amount onthe food label. They want to just label things, but sometimes they label things and they aren’t right


2.The big food brands need to put food education all around their business. With fast food chains they need to make their food healthier and not as processed so that when we have fast food it won’t do as much harm to us.



3.He wishes that we would teach kids more about food. I think it is admirable because no onereally teaches kids what food is anymore and if we don’t do this then they will have no idea what certain food is and any nutritional facts about food. If we taught them about food then they would be knowledgeable about what they eat.

What are some of the changes the united states is making to become energy independent?
Nana76 [90]
I believe one method is by trying it's hand at "oil farming". Using UN-imported oil for energy use is cheaper. Another is by using Solar energy that can be collected as long as there is sunlight. :)
