Question

Greg was playing tennis with his friend Tony, when Tony clutched his chest and fell to the ground. Tony was shallowly breathing and Greg sprang into action! After calling 9-1-1, he performed chest compressions on Tony and waited for the paramedics to arrive. The paramedics were surprised to see Greg performing chest compressions on his friend. Why were the paramedics surprised? because only trained people like paramedics can do chest compressions because his friend was breathing and did not need chest compressions because he needed to be at the hospital before having chest compressions administered on him because he should have waited for the paramedics to arrive before doing chest compressions

Answer 1

Answer: because his friend was breathing and did not need chest compressions.

Explanation:

Based on the information given, the reason why the paramedics were surprised to see Greg performing chest compressions on his friend is because his friend was breathing and did not need chest compressions.

Chest compression is done for someone who has stopped breathing and not someone whom is still breathing. In such case, one will use the hands to push down the chest of the person whom stopped breathing hard and fast.
