Answer 2

The answer is "a.) Look for chest motion and watch for the person breathing".

Hands-Only CPR will be CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths. It is suggested for use by individuals who see a teenager or grown-up all of a sudden fall in an "out-of-hospital" setting, (for example, at home, at work or in a recreation center).  

The hands-only CPR procedure might be more powerful than conventional CPR in the early period of sudden heart failure, which might be all that is required if a computerized outside defibrillator (AED) is accessible close-by, they included.
