Questions: Check for breathing Open the mouth and look for an object

The answer is the third one: Open the mouth and look for an object.

Explanation for each option:

1. Use a spoon to try and remove an object: This is incorrect. Using a spoon or any other object to try and remove an obstruction can push the object further down the throat, causing more harm.

2. Check for breathing: While checking for breathing is an important step in assessing an unresponsive person, in the context of a choking person, the priority is to clear the airway first. Therefore, this is not the immediate step before giving breaths.

3. Open the mouth and look for an object: This is correct. Before giving breaths to an unresponsive choking person, you should open their mouth and look for any visible obstruction. If you see an object, you can attempt to remove it with a finger sweep if it is easily accessible.

4. Use an AED: This is incorrect in the context of choking. An AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is used for cardiac arrest situations, not for choking.

In summary, before giving breaths to an unresponsive choking person, you should open the mouth and look for an object to ensure the airway is clear.
