Answer to Question 1

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

Answer to Question 2

B
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.
