9th Grade Health Practice Test

After removing an object from an unconscious choking woman's mouth, what's your next action?

Give a breath and reattempt if air does not go in then 30 compressions Check for breathing Call for help Roll the person onto their side

Correct Answer:

Give a breath and reattempt if air does not go in then 30 compressions

Explanation:

When someone is unconscious from choking, you switch to CPR and focus on re‑ventilating and circulating air. After removing the object, the immediate step is to give a rescue breath to see if the airway is now open. If air does not go in on that breath, you continue with chest compressions and keep cycling: 30 compressions, then breaths, repeating until help arrives or the person starts to breathe. This approach both attempts to re‑open the airway and maintains circulation to vital organs. Rolling the person onto their side isn’t appropriate during CPR, and while calling for help and checking for breathing are important, the hands‑on next action in this scenario is to ventilate and then resume compressions if ventilation isn’t successful.
