Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Chest compression in CPR creates enough pressure in unconscious victims to eject a foreign body from the airway. The efficacy of chest compressions in obstructed clients is not related to their effect on cardiac output, the vascular system, or the nervous system.

Answer to Question 2

B
Massage can help reduce anxiety and increase circulation. The back rub should begin by applying firm, continuous pressure, beginning with the sacral area and moving upward to the shoulders.
