Answer :

Final answer:

b) Open the airway and check for breathing

To rescue an unresponsive adult or child facing foreign-body airway obstruction, open the airway, use abdominal thrusts, and administer CPR.

Explanation:

Open the airway and check for breathing: Ensure the airway is clear and check for breathing by looking, listening, and feeling for breaths.

Begin abdominal thrusts: If the person is unresponsive and choking, begin abdominal thrusts to dislodge the obstructing object.

Administer CPR: If the person remains unresponsive, start CPR by giving chest compressions and rescue breaths.
