Question

Whenever you suspect a person is choking, the Heimlich maneuver should be performed immediately.
(1 point)
• True
• False

Answer 1

False. The Heimlich maneuver should only be performed on someone who is genuinely choking and unable to breathe, speak, or cough. If a person can cough, speak, or breathe, they should be encouraged to continue doing so as this may help dislodge the obstruction. Always assess the situation carefully before taking action.
