Answer:

D) Do CPR until the medical personell has arrived

Explanation:

It is best to continue life supporting efforts in the off chance that there is something that can be done or that there has been some human error in your assessment.  It is also practical to remove the child from the mother in case there was some harm done to the child. Doing CPR will keep the situation under control rather than telling the mother that the child is dead since you are not a medical doctor and it is not within your limits to do so while help is on the way.

All of the following are features of an ideal pregame meal except
salantis [7]

Answer:

a. high-carbohydrate, low-fiber, and low-fat providing 300–800 kcal.

Explanation:

the nutrition plan before the game has important effect on the performance of the player. The diet should be high in carbohydrate, low in fiber, and low in fat . Ideally the percentage should consist of 60-70% carbohydrate, 10-15% protein. This is very important because the player should eat high carbohydrate content to store some energy in the form of glycogen.

This is a very important meal because the main energy reserves are made up of meals from the days before, not from the competition day's pre-game meal or big breakfast.
