In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In an emergency situation, it is important to assess the victim's airways, breathing and circulatory system before performing CPR. This procedure is also known as ABC. You can assess these things by doing the following: Check the victim's airway. Look for any obstructions or signs of damage. Watch to see if the victim is taking spontaneous breaths. Observe the victim to see if he or she is breathing normally. To do this, put your ear close to the victim's nose and mouth and listen for any breathing. Never perform CPR if the victim is breathing or coughing. Start CPR if the victim is not breathing. If the patient is not breathing, then you will have to start CPR right away. Although medical professionals will assess the victim for signs of disability, you may find it helpful to identify the victim's level of responsiveness and pass this information on to the emergency response team. Disability is often graded as one of four categories: A for alert. This means that the victim is awake, able to talk, and aware of his or her surroundings. V for voice responsive. This means that the victim can respond to questions, but he or she may not seem too alert or aware of what is going on. P for pain responsive. This means that the victim is showing some sort of response to the pain. U for unresponsive. This means that the patient is unconscious and not responding to questions or reacting to pain. If the victim is unconscious, you may proceed with the application of CPR. Do not apply CPR techniques to a person who is already breathing and conscious. You, and the victim, will need to be in the proper position to perform CPR. Follow these steps to ensure you are both in the right position for compression: Put the person on her back and tilt the head back. Kneel down next to the victims shoulders. Place the heel of one hand over the center of the person's chest, between the nipples. Place your other hand on top of the first hand. Keep your elbows straight and position your shoulders directly above your hands. After positioning yourself properly you may now begin compressions. Compressions can help keep the person alive, keeping oxygenated blood flowing to the brain. Use your upper body weight , not just your arms, as you push straight down on the chest. Push at least 2 inches (approximately 5 centimeters). Push hard, at a rate of about 100 compressions a minute. Continue until the victim is breathing again or emergency services arrive.
Summary: Remember to check ABC. Assess the victim for signs of disability. Get in position. Begin compressions.

Take bites that are small enough to fit neatly onto your fork or spoon so you can chew it properly and won't swallow oversized pieces of food. Use your knife to cut larger pieces of food into bite-sized portions so you can chew it more easily. Taking smaller bites allows you to really enjoy and savor each bite and will prevent you from overeating. Don't drink any liquids 20 minutes before or after you eat your meal so your stomach can properly digest your food. Try drinking a glass of water or a beverage about an hour before your meal so you don't get thirsty when you're eating. Drinking while you eat will dilute the acid in your stomach and flush the food through before it's had a chance to be properly digested, which can cause gas, bloating, and intestinal discomfort. You won't absorb all of your food's nutrients if it's flushed through your digestive system by liquids that you consume while you eat. Keeping your mouth closed while you chew is not only good manners, it keeps extra air from mixing with your food when you swallow, which aids in digestion and prevents intestinal discomfort and gas. Take a bite of food and keep your lips sealed together as you chew it and avoid talking with your mouth full. Taking your time as you chew your food will also help reduce the amount of air that you swallow. Sit down to enjoy your meal and to make it easier for you to focus on properly chewing your food. Avoid watching television, playing on your smartphone, or driving while you eat or you may not notice that you haven't fully chewed your food before you swallow it. Eating on the go can also cause you to eat faster, which means you're more likely to not chew your food properly and overeat. After you take a bite of food, place your fork and knife or your spoon on the table so you can focus on properly chewing your food and you aren't tempted to take another bite too quickly. When you're finished chewing and you swallow your food, pick up your utensil and take another bite before setting it down again. Setting your fork or spoon down after each bite is an easy way to force yourself to slow down while you eat.
