Question 4 • Fall 24 Personal Fitness IC

Calla sees her 10 year old sister choking. She does the five-and-five approach. What did Calla do?

Answer
A
She did five chest compressions and then five rescue breaths.
B
She did five rescue breaths and then five chest compressions.
C
She did five blows on the back and then five abdominal thrusts.
D
She did five abdominal thrusts and then five blows on the back.

Explanation

The five-and-five approach for a choking person alternates five firm blows between the shoulder blades with five abdominal thrusts. Calla therefore gave five blows on her sister’s back first, then five abdominal thrusts. This is different from CPR, which uses chest compressions and rescue breaths.
