A nurse is teaching a first aid class to a group of high school students. The nurse asks one of the students to demonstrate how to perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) on a choking victim. Which of the following actions by the student indicates a need for further instruction?
Reason: This action is correct because it positions the student behind the victim and allows him to perform abdominal thrusts.
Reason: This action is correct because it places the fist above the navel and below the xiphoid process, where the thrusts can dislodge the object.
Reason: This action is correct because it pulls the fist inward and upward, creating a strong pressure in the abdomen that can expel the object.
