Written Lifeguarding Practice Test

When assessing a potential spinal injury, it is important to protect the neck and spine from any further damage. The jaw thrust without head extension technique is the recommended method because it does not involve moving the neck or spine. The chin lift and head tilt techniques involve moving the head and neck, which could potentially worsen a spinal injury. The mouth opening technique is also not recommended because it could cause further misalignment of the spine. It is important to prioritize protecting the neck and spine when dealing with potential spinal injuries.
