Answer:

"I will float a metered-dose inhaler in water to determine how much medication is left."

Explanation:

The arrival of autumn always brings with it a wave of flu, colds and respiratory complications caused by the decrease in temperature and humidity levels that are characteristic of this time of year. One of the ways most indicated by doctors as treatment and prevention for the aforementioned ills is the use of the famous inhaler device which is a machine that converts medications, which are initially in liquid form, into gaseous form to be inhaled by the lungs.

Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for longer life and proper functioning of an inhaler. Some components of this machine should be replaced to prevent proliferation of microorganisms and to prevent malfunctions. To know the right time to replace, it is not necessary to float an inhaler in the water to determine how much medicine is left, just see if the inhaler components are dark or very dirty.

You are alone and have identified an adult who is not responsive. You have called 911. What is the next step in CPR?
Shalnov [3]

The right answer is B. Begin chest compressions.

Chest compression is a first aid gesture that occurs under two circumstances:

** the victim is conscious and chokes (total obstruction of the upper airways) but can not practice Heimlich's method (example of a pregnant woman or an obese person, or an infant on which the method Mofenson failed, or an unconscious victim for whom the insufflations do not pass); the purpose here is to cause an overpressure in the lungs to dislodge the foreign body;

** the victim is unconscious, does not breathe and his heart is no longer beating, the chest compressions are used here to circulate the blood; alternating thirty chest compressions and two breaths (mouth-to-mouth); all artificial ventilation / cardiac massage is called cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

One important concept to know that was not mentioned in the question or in the propositions is that there has to be a cardiopulmonary arrest to start the chest compression because there is we may have an unconscious victim who does not respond but breathes!
