BLS Quiz 3

When performing CPR on an unresponsive choking victim, what modification should you incorporate?

• each time you open the airway, look for the obstructing object

• There is no modifications to CPR for an unresponsive choking victim

• Attempt a jaw thrust instead of a head tilt-chin lift

• You do not give breaths to an unresponsive choking victim

Why is allowing complete chest recoil important when performing high quality CPR?

• The heart will adequately refill between compressions

• There will be a reduction of rescuer fatigue

• The rate of chest compressions will increase

• It will reduce the risk of rib fractures

You witness someone suddenly collapse. The person is unresponsive, you hear gasping sound and there's no pulse. What should you do next?

• Give rescue breaths only; the gasps are not normal breathing

• Begin CPR; the gasps are not normal breathing

• Begin CPR,even though gasping is normal breathing

• Monitor the patient; the gasps are considered normal breathing

You and another rescuer begin CPR. After a few cycles, you notice the chest compression rate is slowing. What should you say to offer constructive feedback?

• you need to compress at a rate of at least 100 per minute

• you need to compress at a rate of 80-120 per minute

• you need to compress at a rate of at least 120 per minute

• you need to compress at a rate of 100-120 per minute

What action do you perform to relieve choking in an unresponsive infant?

• Give 5 sets of back slaps and 5 chest thrusts

• Perform CPR, and look in the mouth for the obstructing object

• Attempt a blind finger sweep when giving breaths to remove the obstructing object

• Give sets of 5 abdominal thrusts and 5 back slapps

After the AED pads are attached to the victim's bare chest, the AED detects ventricular fibrillation. What is the next step when using an AED?

• press the shock button

• Clear the patient

• Follow the AED prompts

• Check the patient for a carotid pulse

The team functions smoothly when all team members know their positions, functions, and tasks during a resuscitation attempt. Match this statement with the most appropriate element of team dynamics listed.

• Knowing your limitations

• mutual respect

• clear roles and responsibilities

• constructive interventions

2 rescuers begin high quality CPR while the third rescuer leaves to get the AED. What action supports 2-rescuer CPR?

• Alternating giving shocks every 3 cycles

• Alternating giving rescue breaths every 3 cycles

• Alternating the compressor role every 2 minutes

• Alternating the AED role every 2 minutes

Members of the team know their boundaries and ask for help before the resuscitation attempt worsens. Match this statement with the most appropriate element of team dynamics listed.

• summarizing and reevaluation

• knowlege sharing

• knowing your limitations

• constructive intervention

A middle aged man collapses. You and a second rescuer go to the victim and find that he is unresponsive, is not breathing,and does not have a pulse. What action is most likely to positively impact this victim's survival?

• ensure scene safety

• provide rescue breaths

• check the pulse frequently

• performing high quality CPR
