Answer to Question 1

B
Treatment involves administering Narcan as prescribed to reverse the effects of the narcotic.

With complete airway obstruction, the victim cannot speak. Ask, Are you choking? With this question the nurse pinpoints the problem and can perform the Heimlich with no wasted time.
