Signs of Choking
What is the universal sign of choking?
Clutching the throat with both hands.
What is the first thing you should do when you see someone choking?
Ask, “Are you choking?” and get consent to help.
What method is used if the person is pregnant or obese?
Use chest thrusts instead of abdominal thrusts.
What is the first stage of Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle?
Concrete Experience.
What tool was used to create the instructional video?
InVideo
Name two signs that someone is choking.
Inability to talk and silent coughing or wheezing.
What are the two techniques used to dislodge an object?
Back blows and abdominal thrusts (Heimlich manoeuvre).
Where should chest thrusts be delivered?
On the lower half of the sternum, above the xiphoid process.
Which Kolb stage involves reviewing the video scenario?
Reflective Observation.
What online tool is used for the quiz?
Socrative.
Why might a choking person be unable to speak?
The airway is partially or fully blocked, preventing airflow to vocal cords.
How many back blows should you give before switching to abdominal thrusts?
5 back blows.
Why are abdominal thrusts not recommended for infants?
They can cause internal injuries; back blows and chest thrusts are safer.
In which stage do we learn the theory behind first aid techniques?
bstract Conceptualisation.
How does Socrative support active experimentation?
It allows learners to apply their knowledge and get instant feedback.
How can you distinguish choking from a simple cough?
A choking person will struggle to breathe and may not make any sound; a cough is productive
What should you do if the person becomes unconscious
Start CPR immediately and call for emergency help.
What position should you place the infant in to deliver back blows?
Face down along your forearm, with the head lower than the chest.
What Kolb stage are learners in when doing the Socrative quiz?
Active Experimentation.
How can learners reflect using technology after the lesson?
By completing peer-assessment forms or discussion forums.
What should you do if a person is choking but still coughing forcefully?
Encourage them to keep coughing and monitor them closely.
Why is it important to alternate between back blows and abdominal thrusts?
It increases the chance of dislodging the object through different force directions.
How should you help a choking person in a wheelchair?
Perform abdominal or chest thrusts while the person remains seated, or tilt the wheelchair if possible.
How does watching a demonstration video meet Kolb’s model?
It provides a Concrete Experience to build learning on
Give one example of how video helps with “Concrete Experience.”
Learners visually observe the choking scenario and intervention techniques.
