Solution

The correct answer is: b. perform upward thrusts on the victim until the item is forced out or ambulance arrives.

The Heimlich Maneuver is a first aid procedure used to treat upper airway obstructions (or choking) by foreign objects. The term Heimlich maneuver is named after Dr. Henry Heimlich, who first described it in 1974.

Here are the steps to perform the Heimlich Maneuver:

  1. Stand behind the person. Wrap your arms around the waist. Tip the person forward slightly.

  2. Make a fist with one hand. Position it slightly above the person's navel.

  3. Grasp the fist with the other hand. Press hard into the abdomen with a quick, upward thrust — as if trying to lift the person up.

  4. Perform a total of 5 abdominal thrusts, if needed
