What should a medical assistant do if no object is visible in an infant's mouth or the assistant is unable to remove the object?
What will be an ideal response?
When no object is visible or the assistant cannot remove the object, the assistant should place the infant-patient face downward with the lower portion of the patient's trunk lying across the medical assistant's forearms or thighs,. The assistant should then use the heel of the hand to administer five blows to the patient's back, between the shoulder blades.
