Answer 1

When encountering an unconscious choking victim it is important to perform abdominal thrusts. The answer is letter B. By performing an abdominal thrust, you are applying pressure on the abdomen to force the object out from the system of the choked victim. Victim may be unconscious while choking because the victim lacks oxygen to breathe in from air. To perform abdominal thrust, there are four tips.

1. Stand behind the person by wrapping your arms around his/her waist and make him/her tip forward slightly.
2. Create a fist with one hand and then place it a little bit above his/her navel.
3. Grasp the fist with the other hand by pressing it hard into the abdomen with a sudden ascending thrust.
4. Perform the thrusts five times until the object will be removed form the system of a person.
