Open Ended

Why is it important for emergency responders to have a strong understanding of BLS resuscitation techniques?

Open Ended

Why is it critical to minimize the time between recognizing a patient needs BLS and starting treatment?

• Restore circulation, Open the airway, Restore breathing

• Open the airway, Restore circulation, Restore breathing

• Restore breathing, Restore circulation, Open the airway

• Open the airway, Restore breathing, Restore circulation

Multiple Select

Which of the following are components of the AHA chain of survival?

• Recognition and activation of EMS

• Immediate, high-quality CPR

• Rapid defibrillation

• All of the above

Multiple Choice

What is the first step you should take when assessing the need for BLS at a scene?

• Check for breathing

• Begin chest compressions

• Survey the scene

• Call for help

Multiple Choice

What is the main difference between cardiac arrest in adults versus infants and children, according to the principles of BLS?

• Cardiac arrest in adults usually occurs before respiratory arrest, while in infants and children, respiratory arrest usually occurs before cardiac arrest.

• Cardiac arrest in both adults and children always occurs after respiratory arrest.

• Respiratory arrest is more common in adults than in children.

• There is no difference between adults and children in the sequence of cardiac and respiratory arrest.

Multiple Select

Which of the following are special situations to consider when using an AED?

• Pacemakers and implanted defibrillators

• Wet patients

• Transdermal medication patches

• Allergic reactions

Open Ended

Why is it important to apply an AED as soon as it is available during cardiac arrest, and what special considerations should be taken for children?

Fill in the Blanks

For effective CPR, the patient must be positioned on a

, flat surface.

Multiple Choice

Which maneuver is recommended for opening the airway in a patient with a suspected spinal injury?

• Head tilt–chin lift maneuver

• Jaw-thrust maneuver

• Abdominal thrust maneuver

• Back blow maneuver

Fill in the Blanks

When providing ventilations, use a

device.

Open Ended

Describe the steps involved in providing artificial ventilation to a patient with a stoma.

Multiple Choice

What is the recommended ratio of chest compressions to ventilations for one-rescuer adult CPR?

• 15:2

• 30:2

• 5:1

• 20:2

Multiple Choice

Which device is used to limit air entering the lungs during the recoil phase between chest compressions?

• Impedance threshold device (ITD)

• Mechanical piston device

• Load-distributing band CPR

• Manual chest compressions

Multiple Select

Which of the following are common causes of child respiratory problems?

• Infections

• Foreign body

• Electrocution

• Asthma

Open Ended

Explain the importance of checking for both breathing and a pulse simultaneously in infant and child CPR. What could be the consequences of not performing this assessment correctly?

Fill in the Blanks

When a child is not breathing but has a pulse, you should provide

breath every 2 to 3 seconds.

Open Ended

Discuss the considerations and steps to take if CPR must be interrupted and no ALS is available at the scene.

Open Ended

What are the key components of postresuscitation management in patients who have experienced cardiac arrest?
