If you see an object in an unresponsive infant's mouth while giving CPR for choking, remove it by:

• A. Use a suction device
• B. Wiggle it out with your finger
• C. Sweeping it out with your finger
• D. Shake the mouth gently

Answer: (C)

When an object is visible in an unresponsive infant’s mouth during CPR for choking, you remove it with a finger sweep. This direct, controlled action lets you grasp and extract the obstruction without pushing it deeper or delaying compressions. Do this only if you can clearly see the object; blind attempts can push the object further into the airway. Suction isn’t a substitute for removing a clearly seen obstruction and can delay care, while wiggling or shaking the mouth is less reliable and can push the object or cause injury. After removing the object, resume CPR and continue to monitor the airway.
