Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The major hazard associated with abdominal thrusts, which are performed when an individual has choked and lost consciousness, is possible damage to internal organs, such as laceration or rupture of abdominal or thoracic viscera.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Because low cardiac output, pulmonary shunting, and abnormalities during CPR lead to hypoxia, the highest possible concentration of O2 should be administered as soon as possible.
