10. You are having a nice dinner in a fancy restaurant. As you are eating, you hear the gentleman eating at the next table start to bang the table, hold his throat and forcibly cough. What should you do? A.​ Perform the Valsalva maneuver B.​ Encourage the person to continue coughing C.​ Perform the Heimlich maneuver D.​ Begin CPR and prepare for ACLS measures Correct Response : B Explanation : ​You would encourage the person to continue coughing because this person has a partial airway obstruction. You would perform the Heimlich maneuver when the person has a complete airway obstruction. CPR and ACLS may be necessary later, but not now as based on the fact that the person only has a partial airway obstruction. Lastly, the Valsalva maneuver is done when one exerts pressure against resistance. (See Applying Nursing Procedures and Psychomotor Skills in Managing Medical Emergencies in Clients )
