EMR Ian is called to the scene of an unresponsive female found by her grandchildren. The woman was sleeping, but when the grandchildren went to check on her, they noted she was not breathing. As Ian looks at the patient’s airway, he notices that she does not have teeth. In fact, he sees her dentures on the bedside table. Ian needs to use a BVM on this patient to get air moving through her lungs. How might he do this?


Ian could lubricate the woman’s face to create a better seal for the BVM.


Ian cannot use a BVM because the woman doesn’t have any teeth.


Ian must first insert an NPA to give this patient oxygen.


Ian and his partner could use the two-handed technique to administer oxygen.
