What technique is used to stabilize and support a victim’s head and neck in the water?

The correct technique for stabilizing and supporting a victim's head and neck in the water is known as the Stabilizing Hold. This method ensures that the head and neck are kept in a safe and stable position, which is crucial for preventing further injury, especially in the case of potential spinal injuries. The Stabilizing Hold allows the rescuer to securely support the victim while also facilitating safe movement and transport if necessary.

In water rescue scenarios, it is imperative to stabilize the head and neck to minimize any risk associated with movement that could exacerbate an injury. The Stabilizing Hold is often demonstrated with specific movements and hand placements that effectively immobilize these areas while keeping the victim's body afloat and safe.
