Answer:

C.inward then upward

Explanation:

Heimlich's maneuver is a first-aid technique used in asphyxiation emergencies, caused by a piece of food or any foreign body trapped in the airway, preventing the person from breathing.

In this maneuver, the hands are used to put pressure on the choking person's diaphragm, which causes a forced cough that causes the object to be expelled from the lungs. It was invented by the American physician Henry Heimlich in 1974, and can be practiced by anyone simply by following the guidelines correctly:

  • To stand behind the victim, wrapping his / her arms around the victim;
  • Clasp one hand with the fist tightly closed and the thumb over it and place it in the upper abdomen between the navel and the ribcage;
  • Place the other hand over the closed fist, grasping it firmly;
  • Pull both hands in and up. If this region is difficult to access, as can happen in obese or pregnant women in recent weeks, one option is to locate the hands on the chest;
  • Repeat the maneuver for up to 5 times in a row, observing if the object has been expelled and if the victim breathes.

Accordingly, we can state that the correct answer to your question is the letter c.

The nurse is educating a client who is preparing for abdominal surgery tomorrow. A teaching demonstration has just been complete

Answer:

"I will put the pillow on the incision then cough."

Explanation:

Options have not been provided for the question and are not available anywhere. However, putting a pillow on the incision while coughing is one of the correct instructions that might have been provided by the nurse with respect to splinting the incision site.

After abdominal surgery the patient is usually immobile for a long time. Mucus and other secretions can start accumulating in their airway which can hinder the breathing process. To avoid this problem, they are instructed to cough at certain intervals of time to clear air passage and lungs. However, if there is an incision on the abdomen this activity can cause pain and discomfort. To avoid this situation, a pillow is placed on the incision and the patient is told to firmly hold that pillow. This action is called splinting the incision and it supports the incision and the abdominal muscles surrounding it so that the patient does not feel pain or discomfort while coughing.
