If your first CPR rescue breath doesn't go into the person's lungs, the appropriate action is:
**d) Perform a head-tilt/chin-lift and try a second breath.**
This technique helps to ensure that the airway is adequately opened, which may allow for effective breaths to be delivered. If the second breath also does not go in, you would then need to reassess the situation, check for any obstructions, and consider the need for other interventions.
