Question 2712

Before giving artificial ventilation to an injured person, what must you keep in mind?

  1. That I must place them in the recovery position.
  2. That I must place them in a semi-seated position.
  3. That I must clear their airway.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: That I must clear their airway.

Before giving rescue breaths, open the airway and remove any visible, easily accessible obstruction. Do not insert your fingers blindly to clear it.
