Question

You are at a friend’s house for dinner and her mother starts choking on a piece of steak. She is conscious and coughing a little. List the steps to help her.

Answer 1

If her mother is coughing, that means she is breathing.

This a good, because that gives you more time to be able to help her without any brain damage.

You need to proceed with the Heimlich Maneuver, which is the process of pressing on the diaphragm. When this is done, the diaphragm pushes the food upward and out of the throat.

I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

don't put your fingers in their mouth to help them as they may bite you accidentally

encourage them to keep coughing to try to clear the blockage

ask them to try to spit out the object if it's in their mouth
