Assassins throughout history (especially in nations where food tasters were highly formalized elements in security precautions) have used a variety of clever methods to falsify the "safety" of a given poisoned drink or dish. Ancient China produced quite a few of the more novel methods for doing so. The Assassin's Teapot, for instance, was a multi-leveled serving teapot which allowed one to control the outflow of the contents of the lower level by opening or closing a surreptitious hole on the pot's handle. Pressing a finger to the hole would prevent the fluid in the lower layer from flowing out. Thus, you could serve tea to two different people from the same teapot with all the appearance that both had received the same tea while in reality, only one of them had been poisoned. There are many other examples of this sort of thing.

I think the initial "compression" on the man's chest (and later on, too) was actually more of a Heimlich Maneuver, because immediately after that she says, "Just saliva." And then she goes back to the breaths. She was pushing under his diaphragm, I realized. Also, I don't know if this is still true but the last time I went to a CPR class, and it was a while ago, I admit, but they were for the first time saying, don't bother with the breaths, just do the chest compressions. I don't know if that is still the case.
