Answer :
Final answer:
It is true that one should immediately begin CPR if a choking victim becomes unresponsive. Proper CPR can keep blood and oxygen flowing until professional help arrives or the heart starts beating again. Proper training is crucial for effective and safe CPR. The correct option is (A) True.
Explanation:
The statement "If a choking victim becomes unresponsive immediately begin the steps of CPR" is True. If a person is choking and has become unresponsive, you should start with the immediate steps of CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation). This is critical as the victim is no longer getting oxygen to vital organs, including the brain. In such emergency situations, after ensuring that the victim is on a stable surface, proper application of CPR can maintain the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain and other organs until more advanced care is available or the heart resumes beating on its own.
It's also essential that CPR is performed correctly, so having proper training and certification is very important to avoid potential injuries such as broken ribs or damage to internal organs. For victims of drowning, the highest priority is removing the person from the water before attempting CPR, as performing CPR in water is ineffective.
