General rules to follow when attempting to rescue a
patient from the water include "reach, throw, row, and then
go." In this case, you should attempt to reach the victim by
having him grab hold of a large stick or similar object. If
this is unsuccessful, throw the victim a rope or flotation
device (if available). If these are not available, row to the
patient in a small raft (if available). Going into the water to
retrieve the victim is a last resort. The rescuer must be a
strong swimmer because patients who are in danger of
drowning are in a state of blind panic and will make every
attempt to keep themselves afloat, even if it means forcing
the rescuer underwater.

A: the result of an increase in tidal volume.
B: associated with a prolonged inhalation phase.
C: infrequent, gasping respiratory efforts.
D: characterized by a rapid, irregular pattern. - ANSWER-
C: infrequent, gasping respiratory efforts.
Reason:
A patient may appear to be breathing after his or her heart
has stopped. These occasional, gasping breaths are
called agonal respirations (also called agonal gasps) and
occur when the respiratory centers in the brain continues
to send signals to the respiratory muscles. Agonal

respirations are not adequate because they are infrequent,
gasping respiratory efforts that produce very little, if any,
tidal volume. Patients with agonal respirations require
artificial ventilation.
As you begin ventilating an unresponsive apneic man, you
hear gurgling in his upper airway. Your MOST immediate
action should be to:
A: suction the patient's airway for no longer than 15
seconds.
B: quickly turn the patient onto his side so secretions can
drain.
C: reposition the patient's airway and continue ventilations.
