Response:

C. inward then upward

Clarification:

The Heimlich maneuver is a first-aid method applied during choking emergencies, which occur when a piece of food or another foreign object blocks the airway, obstructing the person's ability to breathe.

This technique involves using the hands to apply pressure on the diaphragm of the person who is choking, resulting in a forced cough that can dislodge the object from the lungs. It was devised by American physician Henry Heimlich in 1974, and anyone can perform it by correctly following the outlined steps:

  • Stand behind the individual, wrapping your arms around them;
  • Form a fist with one hand and place it just above the navel and below the ribcage;

  • Pull both hands inwards and upwards. If accessing this area proves challenging, as can be the case with heavier or late-pregnancy individuals, the hands can be positioned on the chest instead;

guajiro [1305]
It appears that the key options for us to select the answer were not included, but I hope this response is useful. The most fitting explanation for how a stimulus’ intensity is conveyed to the central nervous system from sensory nerves is this: when the stimulus’ strength increases, the frequency of action potentials also rises. Hope this assists.

guajiro [1305]

Answer:

In the event a person becomes unresponsive due to an alcohol overdose, follow these steps:

  1. Attempt to rouse them by pinching the sternum or ear hard enough to elicit pain
  2. If there's no reaction, request that someone else call 911
  3. In the meantime, lean the individual forward, ideally if they're on the floor to minimize the risk of falling
  4. Do not leave the individual alone under any circumstances, as there may be risks of assault if the area is unsafe
  5. When emergency services arrive, provide them with all relevant information about the activities and alcohol consumed
  6. The medical team will handle the rest

Note: even if the person is not unconscious but exhibiting certain symptoms, it doesn’t mean they don’t require assistance; they are also in jeopardy. Symptoms may include:

  • Vomiting
  • Decreased physical activity
  • Seizures
  • Fewer than 8 breaths per minute
  • Lowered body temperature
