A person was a victim in an emergency. She ended up fine except for a fractured rib and some abdominal bruising from the upward impact of abdominal thrusts on her torso. What most likely happened to the victim to require the abdominal thrusts to be given? She had a heart attack. She choked on some food she was eating. She started drowning. She was internally bleeding.

I would say she choked on some food because that's generally why you would have to do abdominal thrusts, the Heimlich Maneuver, which should be done between the navel and the rib cage. And she also had a fractured rib, which could be from the repetitive, forceful motion of the abdominal thrusts.

i'm pretty positive this is right? hope it helps :)

this is not an education question

hihi!

the correct answer would be that the answer associated with delayed cord clamping in vigorous preterm newborns would be decreased need for blood transfusions!

i hope i !
