Make Waves and Master the Lifeguard Test 2025 – Dive into Success!

After forming an initial impression and completing a primary assessment, the next step would be to check the victim's airway. Option A, giving back blows and chest thrusts, is the most appropriate step to take in this situation as the victim is not breathing but still has a pulse. This technique, known as the Heimlich maneuver, is used to clear the airway of any obstructions. Options B and C, giving ventilations and performing CPR, are not necessary at this point as the victim still has a pulse. Option D, performing a finger sweep of the victim's mouth, should only be done if there is an obvious obstruction in the airway. In this situation, it is best to first try the Heimlich maneuver before attempting a finger sweep.
