- By positioning them with their feet higher than the rest of their body.

Correct answer: With the injured person lying on their back, lifting their chin upward.
With the injured person lying face up, the head-tilt/chin-lift maneuver opens the airway by gently lifting the chin and tilting the forehead backward. Avoid sudden or forced neck movements.
