If a victim is found unresponsive and not breathing and trauma is assumed, which of the following techniques should be used instead of the traditional head tilt-chin lift maneuver?
  1. The Chin-Tuck Maneuver
  2. The Jaw-Thrust Method
  3. The Controlled Lift Maneuver
  4. The Jaw-Tuck Maneuver
Explanation
Answer: B - In the Jaw-Thrust Method, the responder places his or her fingers on the jaw angles and lifts the jaw forward in order to move the tongue out of the airway. When a victim is found unresponsive and not breathing and when evidence of trauma is evident (such as a fallen ladder in the vicinity), the responder should not move the victim and should not perform the traditional head tilt-chin lift maneuver to open the airway.
