Correct option is C
Sol. The Heimlich maneuver is a first-aid technique used to dislodge a foreign object from a choking person’s airway. It uses abdominal thrusts to create artificial cough pressure. It is a lifesaving procedure often taught in basic CPR training.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Insufficient breathing – Breathing issues may require oxygen or ventilation, not Heimlich.
· (b) Improve circulation – CPR improves circulation, not Heimlich. This option confuses it with cardiac arrest care.
· (c) Remove airway blockage – Correct. Heimlich is specifically designed to clear choking-related blockages.
· (d) Provide ventilation – Heimlich does not deliver air; bag-valve mask or mouth-to-mouth does.
