You arrive at the local convenience store to find out that a robbery has just occurred. The store clerk appears to have been stabbed in the chest. Although he is conscious, he is in considerable pain and is having trouble breathing. You hear a sucking sound coming from his chest when he breaths. How should you care for the clerk?

Based on the description of the situation it seems that the knife has punctured the victim's lung, which will cause the lung to fail and the victim will have a difficult time breathing. In this situation the first thing to do would be to call emergency services (9-1-1) and then apply pressure around the wound but without removing the object that is penetrating the lung. This must be done consistently until an ambulance arrives.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
