🔍 Key Concepts

• Conscious choking victim vs. an unconscious victim • Difference between airway obstruction and no breathing/no pulse • When to use abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) versus CPR

💭 Think About

• If a person cannot speak but is still standing and suddenly turns blue, what does that tell you about their airway and circulation? • Which comes first in emergency care: clearing the airway or starting chest compressions, and why? • Which option directly attempts to remove the object blocking the airway rather than just treating the symptoms?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm whether the victim is conscious or unconscious in the scenario • Identify which options actually clear the airway obstruction instead of just improving blood flow • Eliminate any choice that involves waiting without acting in a clear life‑threatening emergency
