You are attempting to administer CPR to a victim. While blowing into the victim's mouth, it is apparent that no air is getting to the lungs. Which of the following actions should you take?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Re-tip the head and try again.
If no air is getting to the lungs while performing rescue breaths, the first step is to re-tip the head to ensure the airway is properly opened. This realigns the head and neck to open the airway and facilitate air movement to the lungs. Raising the head higher, pressing on the lungs, or blowing harder are not the appropriate initial actions, as they do not address the root cause of the airway obstruction. By re-tipping the head, you can rule out a positioning issue before considering other potential causes or interventions. This is the recommended first step according to standard CPR protocols and guidelines.
