In the case of a partial airway obstruction, the rescuer should encourage the choking victim to cough but should do nothing else.

A. True
B. False

Answer :

The given statement "in the case of a partial airway obstruction, the rescuer should encourage the choking victim to cough but should do nothing else" is true (T) because the rescuer should not attempt any other rescue techniques such as back blows or abdominal thrusts.


In the case of a partial airway obstruction, the rescuer should encourage the choking victim to cough as this is the most effective way to clear the airway. Coughing helps to dislodge the foreign object by creating a strong air pressure that expels the object. Intervening with other methods, such as performing the Heimlich maneuver or attempting to remove the object manually, may actually worsen the situation and lead to a complete obstruction. It is important to closely monitor the choking victim and to be prepared to perform additional interventions if the obstruction worsens or if the victim becomes unresponsive.


However, encouraging the victim to cough is the first and most appropriate response to a partial airway obstruction.
