Answer:

When a child is choking and can't breathe or speak, you MUST give abdominal thrusts (the Heimlich maneuver). The Heimlich maneuver pushes air from the child's lungs which helps to remove the blocking object. You should give abdominal thrusts until the object is forced out or the victim becomes unresponsive.

lidiya [134]

The proper order for applying a rigid splint to an injured wrist that is not bleeding is: Check the fingers for feeling, warmth, and color. Pad the splint; apply the splint; secure the splint; put the arm in a sling; secure the arm; check the fingers for feeling, warmth, and color.

Field hockey: what should a player do when it is impossible for him or her to attempt a goal
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be, Restrict the other team from doing goal.

Explanation:

Hockey is a game in which there are two teams, each of which consists of 11 players. Both teams have an area where teams have to mark goals. Both teams have their goal keepers in that area. Players play with each other by passing ball to other players of their own team and making it to the goal area of the other team to hit a goal to get a point. So if it seems impossible for a player to attempt a goal then he should at once change his strategy and has to play a game in which he just restricts the players of the other team from scoring a goal. In this way, if he is not able to mark a goal, the other team will also not get a chance to attempt the goal.
