Ans) 1) b.In the typical adult patient, place your fist with the thumb side above the victim's belly button and grab your fist with the other hand

Explaination:

If the victim is pregnant or obese, chest thrusts should be used in place of abdominal thrusts.

If your victim looses consciousness, start CPR, If the object is not visible continue BLS with chest compressions until the object is removed or EMS arrives on scene and takes over management of the situation.

So only b. Option is correct.

2) b or c

Explaination:

Open and clear airway using Chin
Lift or Jaw Thrust.

3) b. Continue rescue breathing at the rate of 1 breath every 5 seconds.

Explaination:

If an adult, child, or baby has a pulse but is not breathing properly, you should perform rescue breathing (breaths but no compressions).

Infants: Give 1breath every 3-5 seconds.

Administer one breath every 5 to 6 seconds, not exceeding 10 to 12 breaths per minute.

Note for infants and children: If the pulse is less than 60 beats per minute with signs of poor perfusion, start CPR.
