After pinching a victim's nostrils, how can a rescuer best provide an airtight seal during mouth to mouth ventilation?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — by applying his mouth tightly over the victim's mouth
Executing effective rescue breaths requires pinching the nostrils shut and forming a tight, complete seal with the rescuer's mouth directly over the victim's mouth to prevent air loss during artificial ventilation.
