Question 1 of 25

Airway

Which action best opens the airway of an unresponsive patient with inadequate breathing?

A. Head-tilt chin-lift or jaw-thrust, then assess breathing

B. High-flow oxygen only, without positioning

C. Immediate chest compressions before airway assessment

D. Wait for ALS before any airway maneuver

Incorrect

Airway positioning comes first when breathing is inadequate. Compressions are for no pulse or agonal gasps without adequate breathing—not before a primary airway assessment.

Terminology Definition

Agonal respirations

Tap card to reveal answer

Answer

Slow, irregular, gasping breaths that may follow cardiac arrest or severe hypoxia. They are not adequate ventilation and usually indicate the need for immediate BLS airway and breathing support.
