c. perform chest thrusts.

d. ease the head forward a little

d. Ease the head forward a little.

Explanation:

The correct answer to the question is d. Ease the head forward a little. The head tilt-chin lift maneuver is a procedure which is used to prevent the tongue blocking the upper airways. This is performed when the patient is unconscious and pressure to forehead and chin is applied. In such a situation, easing the head forward will rescue the breathing process of a 17 month old boy.
